Detailed Mineral List:

ⓘ 'Clinoptilolite Subgroup'
Formula: (Na/Ca/K)3-6[Al6-7Si29-30O72] · 20H2O
Habit: blocky xls, dominated by {100}
Colour: colorless
Fluorescence: none
Description: Occurs with prismatic erionite, but not with "woolly" erionite.
ⓘ Erionite-K
Formula: (K2,Ca,Na2)2[Al4Si14O36] · 15H2O
Habit: Prismatic xls elongated parallel to c axis; as thin, wooly threads
Colour: white, orange when viewed down c axis; greenish white
Fluorescence: none
Description: Erionite occurs in two distinct habits at this locality; first, as greenish-white, "thin, curly, woolly threads" often intergrown with clay; and as radiating clusters of prismatic xls sometimes associated with clinoptilote. Both habits of erionite are distinctly K-dominant
ⓘ Opal
Formula: SiO2 · nH2O
Description: Occurs as amygdule fillings
ⓘ Quartz
Formula: SiO2
ⓘ Quartz var. Agate
Formula: SiO2
ⓘ Quartz var. Chalcedony
Formula: SiO2
ⓘ Quartz var. Moss Agate
Formula: SiO2
