Detailed Mineral List:

ⓘ Albite
Formula: Na(AlSi3O8)
ⓘ Baryte
Formula: BaSO4
ⓘ Diaphorite
Formula: Ag3Pb2Sb3S8
Description: This mineral is reported as occurring here in the English abstract of the paper by Qu et al. (2001). However, the name used for this mineral in the Chinese text is 辉锑银铅矿, which translates as ramdohrite, and the analytical data also indicate ramdohrite rather than diaphorite (辉锑铅银矿). Note that the Chinese names only differ by the order of the characters 银 (silver) and 铅 (lead).
