| ⓘ Azurite Formula: Cu3(CO3)2(OH)2 |
| ⓘ Bornite Formula: Cu5FeS4 |
| ⓘ Carnotite Formula: K2(UO2)2(VO4)2 · 3H2O |
| ⓘ Formula: PtS Description: Erronously reported by Neumann (1985). Probably a misreading of the mineral spelled as "kuperitt" in Sverdrup et al. (1967). "Kuperitt" ( a mispelling) however refers to cuprite. |
