| ⓘ Bournonite Formula: PbCuSbS3 |
| ⓘ Calcite Formula: CaCO3 Localities: Reported from at least 14 localities in this region. |
| ⓘ Cerussite Formula: PbCO3 |
| ⓘ Chalcopyrite Formula: CuFeS2 Localities: Reported from at least 6 localities in this region. |
| ⓘ Cuprite Formula: Cu2O References: |
| ⓘ Fluorapatite Formula: Ca5(PO4)3F |
| ⓘ Fluorite Formula: CaF2 Localities: Reported from at least 6 localities in this region. Habit: Cubic Colour: Colourless, orange, lilac, to deep purple Description: Extremely common throughout the spoil as it accounted for a large portion of the lode. The majority of smithsonite is found cementing heavily fractured fluorite together. Purple cubic crystals are often coated with mammilated smithsonite. Very rarely purple cubes can be found associated with limestone matrices.

| ⓘ Galena Formula: PbS Localities: Reported from at least 8 localities in this region. |
| ⓘ Geocronite Formula: Pb14Sb6S23 Colour: Grey Description: Extremely rarely found as microcrystals. |
| ⓘ Greenockite Formula: CdS |
| ⓘ Hydrozincite Formula: Zn5(CO3)2(OH)6 Colour: White References: |
| ⓘ Malachite Formula: Cu2(CO3)(OH)2 |
| ⓘ Otavite Formula: CdCO3 Habit: Skeletal crystals Colour: White Fluorescence: Pink Description: Microscopic white otavite crystals are found on smithsonite containing high amounts of cadmium. References: |
| ⓘ Pyrite Formula: FeS2 |
| ⓘ Pyromorphite Formula: Pb5(PO4)3Cl References: |
| ⓘ Quartz Formula: SiO2 Localities: Mogouhy Mine (Sladoo Mine; Castletown Mine), Carran, The Burren, Clare County, Munster, Ireland Crumlin Mine, Roadford, The Burren, Clare County, Munster, Ireland Crossard Quarry, Corofin, The Burren, Clare County, Munster, Ireland Sheshodonnell East Mine, Carran, The Burren, Clare County, Munster, Ireland |
| ⓘ Rosasite Formula: (Cu,Zn)2(CO3)(OH)2 |
| ⓘ Smithsonite Formula: ZnCO3 Localities: Habit: Botryoidal, Tetrahedral. Colour: Yellow,Orange to Green Description: Very difficult to find nowadays, several specimens in the Barry Flannery Collection show distinct tetrahedra albeit slightly rounded. Mammilations and botryoids are by far the most common although some botryoids/mammilations show tetrahedra under magnification and even microscopic spheres... |
| ⓘ Sphalerite Formula: ZnS Localities: Reported from at least 8 localities in this region. |
