Detailed Mineral List:
| ⓘ Andalusite Formula: Al2(SiO4)O Habit: Acicular Colour: Blackish Description: Ranging in frequency from an occasional crystal to a significant component, andalusite needles may be found in the harder, more deformed slates.
The mineral is most frequently seen as minute (1-3mm length), blackish needles laying in random orientation parallel to the cleavage of the slate. References: |
| ⓘ Arsenopyrite Formula: FeAsS |
| ⓘ Cerussite Formula: PbCO3 |
| ⓘ Galena Formula: PbS |
| ⓘ Paratacamite Formula: Cu3(Cu,Zn)(OH)6Cl2 |
| ⓘ Phosgenite Formula: Pb2CO3Cl2 |
| ⓘ Pyrite Formula: FeS2 Habit: Massive; intergrown masses of small crystals to about 5mm. Occasional hemihedral, dodecahedral and pyritiohedral crystals in rock voids. Colour: Brassy, also bronzy tarnish. Description: Massive, intergrown masses associated with massive arsenopyrite and quartz in both the cliff walls and rocks on the beach. References: |
| ⓘ Quartz Formula: SiO2 Habit: Massive, intergrown; occasional prismatic crystals Colour: White to pale yellow, milky to transparent Description: Massive pods and veins of quartz form a major part of the cliffs and represent a large proportion of the beach material, frequently associated with massive arsenopyrite and pyrite.
Occasional voids support small (to 15mm length), prismatic crystals of clear quartz, occasionally tending toward citrine. References: |
| ⓘ Rhodochrosite Formula: MnCO3 |
