7 valid minerals.

Detailed Mineral List:

Calcite
Formula: CaCO3
Description: "At Clunes attractive transparent honey-coloured, rhombs and 'dog tooth' calcites were collected."
Chabazite-Na
Formula: (Na2,K2,Ca,Sr,Mg)2[Al2Si4O12]2 · 12H2O
Description: "Chabazite is the most common zeolite from the South Clunes area and generally forms the large complex twins (phacolite variety) occurring as clear, glassy, fractured crystals up to 1.7 cm in diameter lining vugs in the basalt. It is found associated with the other zeolites, thomsonite, mesolite and levyne and is very similar in appearance to the 'phacolite' from Richmond-Collingwood quarries in Melbourne."
Gold
Formula: Au
Lévyne-Ca
Formula: (Ca,Na2,K2)[Al2Si4O12] · 6H2O
Mesolite
Formula: Na2Ca2Si9Al6O30 · 8H2O
Description: "Mesolite from South Clunes has been identified by X-ray diffraction on specimens in the Museum of Victoria collection. The mesolite forms a soft white crust of needles often completely lining the vugs in the basalt. It also forms small tufts and sprays of acicular crystals up to 1 mm long in several vugs. Phacolite twins, which have crystalized after the mesolite, are often found in the mesolite lined vugs."
Quartz
Formula: SiO2
Thomsonite-Ca
Formula: NaCa2[Al5Si5O20] · 6H2O
