Detailed Mineral List:

Autunite
Formula: Ca(UO2)2(PO4)2 · 10-12H2O
Description: The mine was opened in a futile search for aquamarine, but several dozen nice specimens of autunite crystals up to 1 inch were uncovered instead. Some of these autunite crystals were on matrix associated with mica crystals. A specimen in the Smithsonian Institute consists of a small cluster of autunite crystals off matrix that has a 3.5 cm crystal.
Columbite-(Fe)
Formula: Fe2+Nb2O6
References:
Meta-autunite
Formula: Ca(UO2)2(PO4)2 · 6H2O
Parsonsite
Formula: Pb2(UO2)(PO4)2
'Tantalite'
Formula: (Mn,Fe)(Ta,Nb)2O6
Uranocircite
Formula: Ba(UO2)2(PO4)2 · 10H2O
