Detailed Mineral List:

Axinite-(Mn)
Formula: Ca2Mn2+Al2BSi4O15(OH)
Description: "In 1993 a boulder was discovered by the road adjacent to the small excavations on the deposit. The surface of the boulder contained some free-standing, wedge shaped, lustrous dark brown crystals up to 5mm across, which had been exposed by etching of the enclosing rock. X-ray diffraction and microprobe analysis determined the dark brown crystals to be manganaxinite set within a fine-grained matrix composed largely of diopside and calcite."
Reference: Henry, D.A., Birch, W.D. & MacRae, C.M. (2005): Manganaxinite from Pyle's limestone near Benambra, and ferroaxinite from Corop, Victoria. Australian Journal of Mineralogy 11, 27-33.
Calcite
Formula: CaCO3
Description: "The rock (in which the manganaxinite was found) consists of large clasts of coarsely crystalline calcite up to 10 cm across in a pale grey, fine-grained matrix."
Reference: Henry, D.A., Birch, W.D. & MacRae, C.M. (2005): Manganaxinite from Pyle's limestone near Benambra, and ferroaxinite from Corop, Victoria. Australian Journal of Mineralogy 11, 27-33.
Diopside
Formula: CaMgSi2O6
Description: "The dark brown crystals of manganaxinite were set within a fine grained matrix composed largely of diopside and calcite."
Reference: Henry, D.A., Birch, W.D. & MacRae, C.M. (2005): Manganaxinite from Pyle's limestone near Benambra, and ferroaxinite from Corop, Victoria. Australian Journal of Mineralogy 11, 27-33.
Gold
Formula: Au
Description: "In one sample collected, some small gold grains are present."
