ⓘ Aerinite ?
Formula: (Ca5.1Na0.5)(Fe3+,Al,Fe2+,Mg)4(Al,Mg)6[HSi12O36(OH)12][(CO3)1.2(H2O)12]
ⓘ Alunogen
Formula: Al2(SO4)3 · 17H2O
ⓘ 'Chlorite Group'
ⓘ Cristobalite
Formula: SiO2
ⓘ Despujolsite
Formula: Ca3Mn4+(SO4)2(OH)6 · 3H2O
Description: There are two similar papers referenced, both devoted to the same site(s). Only one paper reports despujolsite, based exclusively on the PXRD data, but no reflections are actually marked - the name "despujolsite" is only given in the figure caption. Also, occurrence of despujolsite, with clearly oxidized manganese, at such localities, is quite conspicious.
ⓘ Dickite
Formula: Al2(Si2O5)(OH)4
ⓘ Fibroferrite
Formula: Fe3+(SO4)(OH) · 5H2O
ⓘ Gobbinsite ?
Formula: Na5(Si11Al5)O32 · 11H2O
ⓘ Gypsum
Formula: CaSO4 · 2H2O
ⓘ 'K-alum'
ⓘ Kaolinite
Formula: Al2(Si2O5)(OH)4
ⓘ Khademite
Formula: Al(SO4)F · 5H2O
ⓘ Montmorillonite
Formula: (Na,Ca)0.33(Al,Mg)2(Si4O10)(OH)2 · nH2O
ⓘ Muscovite
Formula: KAl2(AlSi3O10)(OH)2
ⓘ Muscovite var. Illite
Formula: K0.65Al2.0[Al0.65Si3.35O10](OH)2
ⓘ Pickeringite
Formula: MgAl2(SO4)4 · 22H2O
ⓘ Pyrite
Formula: FeS2
ⓘ 'Smectite Group'
Formula: A0.3D2-3[T4O10]Z2 · nH2O
ⓘ 'Stilbite Subgroup'
Formula: M6-7[Al8-9Si27-28O72] · nH2O
ⓘ Vermiculite
Formula: Mg0.7(Mg,Fe,Al)6(Si,Al)8O20(OH)4 · 8H2O
