Detailed Mineral List:
| ⓘ Anatase Formula: TiO2 |
| ⓘ Anglesite Formula: PbSO4 Localities: Colour: colourless, white, slightly brownish |
| ⓘ Arsenogorceixite ? Formula: BaAl3(AsO4)(AsO3OH)(OH)6 Description: Not confirmed by analysis |
| ⓘ Arsenopyrite Formula: FeAsS |
| ⓘ Boleite Formula: KPb26Ag9Cu24(OH)48Cl62 Localities: References: |
| ⓘ Brookite Formula: TiO2 |
| ⓘ Calcite Formula: CaCO3 |
| ⓘ Cerussite Formula: PbCO3 Localities: Habit: tabular parallel to b(010), twinned on m(110), and showing the forms b(010), m(110), i(021), p(111);
acicular;
rarely bipyramidal crystals, combinations of p(111) with i(021) and m(110), showing polysynthetic growths and measuring up to 1 1/2 cm. along the vertical axis. References: |
| ⓘ Chalcopyrite Formula: CuFeS2 Localities: |
| ⓘ Chenite ? Formula: Pb4Cu(SO4)2(OH)6 Description: Not confirmed by analysis |
| ⓘ Dolomite Formula: CaMg(CO3)2 |
| ⓘ Dundasite Formula: PbAl2(CO3)2(OH)4 · H2O |
| ⓘ Fluorite Formula: CaF2 |
| ⓘ Galena Formula: PbS Localities: References: |
| ⓘ Galena var. Silver-bearing Galena Formula: PbS with Ag |
| ⓘ Hematite Formula: Fe2O3 |
| ⓘ Jarosite Formula: KFe3+3(SO4)2(OH)6 |
| ⓘ Laurionite Formula: PbCl(OH) Habit: bladed. Colour: colourless Description: Russell and Hutchinson (1927): "The crystals of laurionite are colourless and translucent and bladed in form, attaining a length of 4 mm.[...] The following forms are present: b(010), m(110), n(120), d(012), and the prominent but somewhat doubtful form p(141). [...] The faces as a whole appeared to be etched and afford multiple images, with the exception of m(110) which gives good reflections. As in the case of the Laurion crystals the faces of b(010) are striated parallel to their intersection with the pyramid p(141), the latter being possibly a vicinal form as suggested by Dr. Herbert Smith. The edges formed by the intersection of the faces p(141) are always more or less curved, thus giving rise to the bladed form. No interference-figure can be seen looking through (010). The crystals when powdered are partially soluble in boiling water. The presence of lead and chlorine was determined. Of the three associated minerals, laurionite, phosgenite, and anglesite, the laurionite appears to have been the last formed, and partially invests the other two." |
| ⓘ Lepidocrocite Formula: γ-Fe3+O(OH) |
| ⓘ 'Limonite' Localities: |
| ⓘ Linarite Formula: PbCu(SO4)(OH)2 |
| ⓘ Mimetite Formula: Pb5(AsO4)3Cl Localities: |
| ⓘ Paralaurionite Formula: PbCl(OH) Habit: The crystals are long narrow thin plates without for the most part any terminal faces and when measured gave angles consistent with the supposition that they are crystals of paralaurionite elongated along the symmetry-axis and twinned about a(100) with the faces of a large and those of c(001) small. [...] There is an excellent cleavage parallel to c(001). Indications of other faces in the zone a c were observed, and it is probable that h(201) is present on some crystals as a very narrow face. The important face m(110) mentioned by Herbert Smith was not observed, but a face making an angle of 24°24' with a was found instead. Simple indices cannot be assigned to this face ((510) would correspond to an angle from a of 25°38') and it is probable that it is an accidental face produced where one crystal has come in contact with another.[...] |
| ⓘ Phosgenite Formula: Pb2CO3Cl2 Localities: Habit: The forms present are c(001), a(100), m(110), l(320), u(210), o(201), x (111), s(211). |
