Colour: Milky white to clear.
Fluorescence: none
Description: Easily mistaken for cerussite or aragonite here (samples are probably overlooked) but has a different habit and morphology that can be seen upon careful examination. The stouter prismatic crystals with a nearly square cross-section are decidely different from the other species' habits. An acid test using 20% HCl showed that both the aragonite and cerussite dissolved, while the hemimorphite did not.

Habit: Thin tabular plates, some crudely pseudo-hexagonal.
Colour: Yellowish-green, vitreous luster.
Description: Analysis by SEM-EDS at Excalibur Minerals (Tony Nickershir). Only a single specimen known as of Oct. '04 - found by Bob Wilkens, who had it probed at Excalibur. It is presumed that the U was derived from the granitic dike the fault occurs in. This is also the only arsenate species yet to be found at the site.
ⓘ Microcline

ⓘ Muscovite var. Sericite
Formula: KAl2(AlSi3O10)(OH)2
ⓘ Native Copper ?
Formula: Cu
Habit: Wire micro-crystals
Colour: Copper
Fluorescence: none
Description: Only two or three possible samples found by Bob Wilken of New Milford, Conn., USA, and Alan Plante of Gorham, NH, USA. Neither collector is certain that these specimens are native copper - they may be something else with a tarnished copper look to them. There is insufficient material for wet analysis; a sample would need to be at least probed to determine what they are.
ⓘ Native Gold
Formula: Au
Localities: Reported from at least 6 localities in this region.
ⓘ Native Silver
Formula: Ag
Habit: As micro-grains in galena; and as wire micro-crystals, straight, curved, coiled, and in arborescent (bush-like) clusters.
Colour: Dull silvery-grey to dark grey, often coated with a dark-brown to black crust encasing the wires.
Fluorescence: none
Description: Identified by SEM-EDS at UNO lab (Jim Nazimoff & Al Falster), and by wet analysis and visual examination. Wire crystals of native silver are difficult to find in among the typically dark brown to bluish-black Mn-O coated rocks in the mine dumps, it takes a concerted effort looking specifically for them - but quite a few finds have been made this way. Specimens in which the silver is encased in a dark-brown to black crust are the most difficult to spot. Specimens of wire crystals curled into coils or having the arborescent habit tend to be the most interesting. Sometimes clusters of the silver are accompanied by spheres of malachite, with the malachite perched on and/or pierced by the wires of silver. Sometimes the wires have thorn-like acanthite crystals on them - which have been noted to multiply and increase in size *after* being brought home. Wires that are dull pencil-lead grey in color and which are crumbly under the point of a pin are presumed to be native silver that has pseudomorphed into acanthite. Most often found in vugs of siderite crystals, but also fund in vugs of quartz crystals and in other associations.
ⓘ Orthoclase
Formula: K(AlSi3O8)
ⓘ Phenakite
Formula: Be2SiO4
ⓘ 'Plagioclase'
Formula: (Na,Ca)[(Si,Al)AlSi2]O8
✪ Posnjakite
Formula: Cu4(SO4)(OH)6 · H2O
Habit: Crude thick-tabular crystals with rounded edges - rarely sharp - sparse on matrix, and as crusts.
Colour: Medium greenish-blue.
Fluorescence: none
Description: Identified by SEM and XRD at the Denver USGS lab (Gene Foord) and at the UNO lab (Jim Nizamoff & Al Flaster.) Crystals of posnjakite are fairly distinct at this site - not easily confused with other species.
ⓘ Pyrite
Formula: FeS2
Localities: Reported from at least 13 localities in this region.
ⓘ Pyrolusite ?
Formula: Mn4+O2
ⓘ Pyrrhotite
Formula: Fe1-xS

ⓘ Quartz var. Milky Quartz
Formula: SiO2
ⓘ Quartz var. Rose Quartz
Formula: SiO2
References:
ⓘ Quartz var. Smoky Quartz
Formula: SiO2

✪ Ramsbeckite
Formula: (Cu,Zn)15(SO4)4(OH)22 · 6H2O
Habit: Thick tabular to "boxy" rhombic micro-crystals; may form crusts or be lightly scattered on matrix.
Colour: "Brochantite-green." (Easy to confuse with brochantite at this locality.)
Fluorescence: none
Description: Can be confused with brochantite crystals at this site but brochantite crystals are more thin-tabular to grainy - not rhombic and thick-tabular to boxy.
ⓘ Riebeckite
Formula: ◻Na2(Fe2+3Fe3+2)Si8O22(OH)2
ⓘ Rosasite ?
Formula: (Cu,Zn)2(CO3)(OH)2
Habit: Micro-crusts, sometimes sub-botryoidal to botryoidal, more rarely as crudely tabular micro-crystals.
Colour: Bright, vivid, sky-blue with a waxy luster.
Fluorescence: none
Description: Mascot Mine "Unknown #7" - Once thought to be habits of the posnjakite found here, but SEM-EDS shows both Cu and Zn in significant quantities, suggesting the likelihood of it being rosasite - or possibly even claraite. It will take XRD analysis to determine the species.
ⓘ Rutile
Formula: TiO2
Localities: Reported from at least 6 localities in this region.
ⓘ Schorl
Formula: NaFe2+3Al6(Si6O18)(BO3)3(OH)3(OH)
ⓘ Schulenbergite
Formula: (Cu,Zn)7(SO4)2(OH)10 · 3H2O
Habit: Crusts, foliated sheets, crude hemispheres, and crude rosettes of extremely tiny acicular needles
Colour: Very pale sky-blue to slightly greenish-blue, with a pearly to somewhat waxy luster.
Fluorescence: none
Description: Indentified by SEM and XRD at the Denever USGS lab (Gene Foord), the UNO lab (Jim Nazimoff & Al Falster), and Excaliber Minerals (Tony Nickershir). Schulenbergite can be confused with aurichalcite here; but the acicular natue of aurichalcite crusts and mats of needles is obvious - while the schulenbergite specimens appear either platy or grainy at magnifications of under approx. 120X (or greater?) The acicular nature of the schulenbergite was only revealed by SEM imaging.
ⓘ 'Serpentine Subgroup'
Formula: D3[Si2O5](OH)4
✪ Serpierite
Formula: Ca(Cu2+,Zn2+)4(S6+O4)2(OH)6 · 3H2O
Habit: Lath-like micro-crystals with jagged terminations, in clusters exhibiting both parallel growth and jackstraws.
Colour: Bright medium blue.
Fluorescence: none
Description: Identified by SEM-EDS at the UNO lab (Jim Nazimoff & Al Falster) and visual observations. Serpierite is rare at this site, but a number of samples have been found. The lath-like shape and jagged terminations distinguish them from other blue species here, particularly from linarite (which also is darker blue in color.)
ⓘ Siderite
Formula: FeCO3
Localities: Reported from at least 6 localities in this region.
Habit: Typical clusters and vug linings of rhombic crystals, from micros to individuals to about 1.5 to 2 cm.
Colour: Dark brown to light tan, sometimes almost honey colored, often stained blue-black by Mn-O and having an sub-iridescent appearence.
Fluorescence: none.
Description: Identified by SEM-EDS at the UNO lab (Jim Nazimoff & Al Flaster), and by repeated visual and wet analysis. The SEM analyses showed that even the lightest colored specimens are Mn-rich: siderite var. manganoan. This species is probably the single "collectable" mineral found at the site as non-micro crystals (along with an occasional quartz crystal specimen...)
✪ Smithsonite
Formula: ZnCO3
Habit: As micro-crystals and sub-botryoidal to somewhat stalactic crusts; and as crudely rhombic crystals with a rice grain appearance.
Colour: "Frosted" greyish-white to bluish-grey crusts, looking much like "dirty melted candle wax."
Fluorescence: none
Description: Identified by SEM-EDS at the UNO lab (Jim Nazimoff & Al Falster). Analyses show a note worthy amount of Cd to be present. Most typically found as micro-crusts and sub-botryoidal clusters; more rarely as "rice grain" crystals; and occasionally as stacked sub-parallel rhombs resembling pine-cones. It is believed that some of the micro-crusts and sub-botryoidal to botryoidal clusters of "unknowns" that are obviously not malachite or other knowns are smithsonite stained greens and blues by zinc and copper.
ⓘ Sphalerite
Formula: ZnS
Localities: Reported from at least 7 localities in this region.
ⓘ Talc
Formula: Mg3Si4O10(OH)2
ⓘ Titanite
Formula: CaTiO(SiO4)
ⓘ Topaz
Formula: Al2(SiO4)(F,OH)2
Localities: Reported from at least 9 localities in this region.
ⓘ Tremolite
Formula: ◻Ca2Mg5(Si8O22)(OH)2
ⓘ Wroewolfeite ?
Formula: Cu4(SO4)(OH)6 · 2H2O
Habit: Crude arrowhead shaped (or "spearmint leaf" shaped) micro-crystals in clusters and flat radial sprays on matrix.
Colour: Pale green.
Fluorescence: none
Description: SEM-EDS analysis at Excalibur Minerals (Tony Nickershir) suggests wroewolfeite as the identity of this unknown from the site; but visual observations - color and shape - put this in doubt. XRD analysis is needed... Known from only a single specimen as of Oct. '04.
