Detailed Mineral List:
| ⓘ Baryte Formula: BaSO4 |
| ⓘ Bornite Formula: Cu5FeS4 Colour: coppery red, discolouring to indigo blue and purple Description: The mineral is widely distributed within the quartz in strings up to 3mm in thickness, however, the occurrence of the quartz mass is limited to a steeply inclined zone 0.5m x 1.0m on the face of the country rock References: |
| ⓘ Calcite Formula: CaCO3 |
| ⓘ Chalcopyrite Formula: CuFeS2 References: |
| ⓘ Hematite Formula: Fe2O3 |
| ⓘ Hematite var. Kidney Ore Formula: Fe2O3 References: |
| ⓘ Pseudomalachite Formula: Cu5(PO4)2(OH)4 Colour: pale green Description: This occurs as surface disclouration on the exposed surface of the quartz rock mass but also as powdery deposits within hairline cracks in the quartz particularly in association with the bornite. References: |
| ⓘ Pyrite Formula: FeS2 Colour: dull yellow Description: A few microscopic crystal cubes within the rock forming quartz mass, however the cubes do show the typical surface striations. References: |
| ⓘ Quartz Formula: SiO2 Colour: milky white References: |
