Detailed Mineral List:

ⓘ Aerinite ?
Formula: (Ca5.1Na0.5)(Fe3+,Al,Fe2+,Mg)4(Al,Mg)6[HSi12O36(OH)12][(CO3)1.2(H2O)12]
ⓘ Albite
Formula: Na(AlSi3O8)
ⓘ Alunogen
Formula: Al2(SO4)3 · 17H2O

ⓘ 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.
