Detailed Mineral List:

ⓘ Actinolite
Formula: ◻Ca2(Mg4.5-2.5Fe0.5-2.5)Si8O22(OH)2
ⓘ Chalcopyrite
Formula: CuFeS2
ⓘ Chondrodite
Formula: Mg5(SiO4)2F2

ⓘ 'Humite Subgroup'
Formula: n[Mg2(SiO4)] · Mg(OH,F)2 with n = 1, 2, 3, or 4
Description: Mineral originally added as humite, but without any reference or information on how the mineral was identified. The entry is therefore re-classified as the polysomatic humite series ( i.e one of more of the minerals humite, norbergite, clinohumite or chondrodite)
ⓘ Magnetite
Formula: Fe2+Fe3+2O4
ⓘ Pyrrhotite
Formula: Fe1-xS
ⓘ Sphalerite
Formula: ZnS
