Detailed Mineral List:
ⓘ Albite Formula: Na(AlSi3O8) |
ⓘ Beryl Formula: Be3Al2(Si6O18) Colour: pale green Description: xls up to few mm long. |
ⓘ Calcite Formula: CaCO3 |
ⓘ Clinochlore Formula: Mg5Al(AlSi3O10)(OH)8 |
ⓘ Fluorite Formula: CaF2 Habit: octahedral xls Colour: colorless, pale green, pale to dark blue |
ⓘ Helvine Formula: Be3Mn2+4(SiO4)3S Habit: pseudo-octahedral xls Colour: yellow, with dark surface coatings Description: xls rest either on feldspar or on smoky quartz. Helvite xls were found at Tongbei at the end of 2001 and the first xls collected had a dark surface coatings. Helvite xls discovered at later times lack the dark surface coatings but it is suspected that such pieces have been treated in Tongbei with HCl. |
ⓘ Hematite Formula: Fe2O3 Habit: tabular xls |
ⓘ Manganite Formula: Mn3+O(OH) |
ⓘ Microcline Formula: K(AlSi3O8) Description: Rarely Manebach twins have been observed and characteristic of microcline. Feldspar xls in near surface pockets are often seen to be in the process of kaolinization. |
ⓘ Milarite Formula: K(◻H2O)Ca2(Be2Al)[Si12O30] Description: xls up to 0,5 mm. |
