Detailed Mineral List:

ⓘ Albite
Formula: Na(AlSi3O8)
✪ Anatase
Formula: TiO2
Colour: Blue, grey and black
Description: Not frequent but it has appeared in several fauls. In Alpine cracks with quartz, chlorite and carbonate. Three different kinds of crystals: Blue crystals in an almost vertical North-South fault that cuts the deposit, associated with quartz, chlorite, clinochlore and dolomite. The biggest crystals, usually from 2 to 5 mm long. Clear, transparent and deep blue crystals double terminated. Grey crystals in a fault similar to blue ones. Smaller crystals, 1-2 mm long. Dark grey colour and with less development of the c-axis. Black crystals. Less frequent and associated with quartz, siderite, calcite in a mineralisation paralell to the sandstone layer. Smaler ones, about 1-2 mm.
ⓘ Arsenopyrite
Formula: FeAsS
Description: Very small pyramids usually into the rock matrix, and just a little samples of isolated crystals (about 1 mm).
ⓘ Brookite
Formula: TiO2
ⓘ Calcite
Formula: CaCO3
ⓘ Chalcopyrite
Formula: CuFeS2
ⓘ 'Chlorite Group'
ⓘ Clinochlore
Formula: Mg5Al(AlSi3O10)(OH)8
ⓘ Dolomite
Formula: CaMg(CO3)2
ⓘ Galena
Formula: PbS
ⓘ Pyrite
Formula: FeS2
ⓘ Quartz
Formula: SiO2
ⓘ Rutile
Formula: TiO2
✪ Siderite
Formula: FeCO3
ⓘ Smithsonite
Formula: ZnCO3
ⓘ Sphalerite
Formula: ZnS
