Detailed Mineral List:
| ⓘ Albite Formula: Na(AlSi3O8) Localities: Habit: equant or tabular Colour: white Description: Mostly as a rock-forming component of the host pegmatite, small crystals lining cavities, or as hemispheres of cleavelandite References: |
| ⓘ Albite var. Cleavelandite Formula: Na(AlSi3O8) Localities: References: |
| ⓘ 'Almandine-Spessartine Series' Habit: trapezohedral Colour: burgundy Description: Small crystals in pegmatite matrix, species is probably almandine but testing is needed to confirm. |
| ⓘ Autunite Formula: Ca(UO2)2(PO4)2 · 10-12H2O References: |
| ✪ Bertrandite Formula: Be4(Si2O7)(OH)2 Description: micro-crystals in cavities |
| ⓘ Beryl Formula: Be3Al2(Si6O18) Habit: subhedral hexagonal elongated prisms Colour: pale yellow to pale green |
| ⓘ 'Columbite-(Fe)-Columbite-(Mn) Series' Localities: References: |
| ⓘ 'Feldspar Group' References: |
| ⓘ 'Feldspar Group var. Perthite' References: |
| ⓘ Fluorapatite Formula: Ca5(PO4)3F |
| ⓘ Meta-autunite Formula: Ca(UO2)2(PO4)2 · 6H2O |
| ✪ Microcline Formula: K(AlSi3O8) Habit: blocky, elongated Baveno twins Colour: white to tan Description: Mainly as a rock-forming component of the host pegmatite, but crystals in cavities can be very large (>30 cm) - some are on display at the Yale Peabody Museum. |
| ⓘ Muscovite Formula: KAl2(AlSi3O10)(OH)2 Habit: tabular Description: Mainly as an accessory mineral in the host pegmatite, small crystals found in cavities |
| ⓘ Quartz Formula: SiO2 Localities: Habit: short to elongated prismatic with rhombohedral terminations. Many loose quartz crystals have distorted shapes resulting from recrystallized overgrowths on quartz fragments caused by pocket shattering during crystallization. Colour: milky to smoky Description: Primarily as a rock-forming component of the host pegmatite, but crystals in cavities can be very large - >30 cm. |
| ⓘ Quartz var. Milky Quartz Formula: SiO2 Colour: milky Description: Mainly as a rock-forming component of the host pegmatite. |
| ⓘ Quartz var. Smoky Quartz Formula: SiO2 Localities: Habit: short to elongated prismatic with rhombohedral terminations. Many loose quartz crystals have distorted shapes resulting from recrystallized overgrowths on quartz fragments caused by pocket shattering during crystallization. Colour: gray to brown Description: Primarily as a rock-forming component of the host pegmatite, but crystals in cavities can be very large - >30 cm. |
| ⓘ Schorl Formula: NaFe2+3Al6(Si6O18)(BO3)3(OH)3(OH) Habit: prismatic Colour: black |
