Detailed Mineral List:

ⓘ Actinolite
Formula: ◻Ca2(Mg4.5-2.5Fe0.5-2.5)Si8O22(OH)2
ⓘ 'Actinolite-Tremolite Series'
ⓘ Andradite
Formula: Ca3Fe3+2(SiO4)3
ⓘ 'Apatite'
Formula: Ca5(PO4)3A
ⓘ 'Apophyllite Group'
Formula: AB4[Si8O20]X · 8H2O
ⓘ Arsenopyrite
Formula: FeAsS
Habit: Octahedral (Hisinger)
ⓘ Azurite
Formula: Cu3(CO3)2(OH)2
ⓘ Baryte
Formula: BaSO4
ⓘ Beraunite
Formula: Fe3+6(PO4)4O(OH)4 · 6H2O
Description: XRD-confirmed (deep green to almost black, velvety radiating groups; Augsten, 2009). Beraunite was originally defined as a fully oxidised mineral, but was redefined by Fanfani and Zanazzi (1967), on the basis of a crystal structural analysis, as a mixed-valence iron phosphate and they left the original fully oxidized end-member unnamed. In essence, Fanfani and Zanazzi (1967) had discovered a new mineral species (ferroberaunite) but re-used a previous name. In the 19th century, both beraunite and eleonorite had been applied to the fully oxidized mineral. Eleonorite had been re-applied by the IMA to the oxidized end-member of the beraunite-eleonorite series. In the IMA 21-D redefinition the name beraunite was reapplied to the oxidised phase and the name ferroberaunite was created for the mixed-valence phase (Tvrdy et al., 2021).
