Detailed Mineral List:

ⓘ 'Allanite Group'
Formula: (A12+REE3+)(M13+M23+M32+)O[Si2O7][SiO4](OH)
ⓘ 'Anthophyllite-Gedrite Series'
References:
Jan Kihle specimen
ⓘ 'Biotite'
Formula: K(Fe2+/Mg)2(Al/Fe3+/Mg/Ti)([Si/Al/Fe]2Si2O10)(OH/F)2
ⓘ 'Britholite Group'
Formula: (REE,Ca)5[(Si,P)O4]3X
ⓘ Britholite-(Y)
Formula: (Y,Ca)5(SiO4)3OH
Description: First described as "Britholite-(Y)" by Griffin et al. The analysis published in their paper however showed that the sample studied had a high content of F (1.18 wt%), thus > 50 apfu and should be a fluorbritholite according to the revision of the nomenclature of the apatite supergroup (Ferraris et al 2010). Britholite-(Y) may occur at the locality but further studies are necessary.
ⓘ Calcite
Formula: CaCO3
Description: As microsopic inclusions in britholite-(Y). Secondary, formed by alteration along fractures
ⓘ Chalcopyrite
Formula: CuFeS2
References:
Markus Aas Reime CollectionIdentified by Markus Aas Reime: Visual Identification
ⓘ Fluorapatite
Formula: Ca5(PO4)3F
Description: As microsopic inclusions in britholite-(Y). Secondary, formed by alteration along fractures
ⓘ Fluorbritholite-(Y)
Formula: (Y,Ca)5(SiO4)3F
Habit: Occurs as crystals 5-20cm large crystals, metamict amorphous
Colour: Light tan to chocolate brown with greasy to adamantine lustre on fracture surfaces
Description: First described as "Britholite-(Y)" by Griffin et al. The analysis published in their paper however shoved that the sample studied had a high content of F (1.18 wt%), thus > 50 apfu and should be a fluorbritholite according to the revision of the nomenclature of the apatite supergroup (Ferraris et al 2010). See also type description of fluorbritholite-(Y) (Pekov et al 2011) Occurs as crystals 5-20cm large crystals, metamict amorphous. Contains microsopic inclusions of several phases (fluorapatite, tombarthite-(Y), calcite and possible thalenite-(Y) ? )
ⓘ 'Grossular-Pyrope Series'
References:
Jan Kihle specimen
ⓘ Gypsum
Formula: CaSO4 · 2H2O
References:
Markus Aas Reime CollectionIdentified by Markus Aas Reime: Visual Identification
ⓘ Keiviite-(Y)
Formula: Y2Si2O7
ⓘ 'K Feldspar'
ⓘ Molybdenite
Formula: MoS2
Description: 2H polytype.
ⓘ 'Molybdenite-2H'
Formula: MoS2
ⓘ 'Plagioclase'
Formula: (Na,Ca)[(Si,Al)AlSi2]O8
ⓘ Pyrrhotite
Formula: Fe1-xS
References:
Markus Aas Reime CollectionIdentified by Markus Aas Reime: Visual Identification
ⓘ Quartz
Formula: SiO2
ⓘ Thalénite-(Y) ?
Formula: Y3Si3O10F
Description: As microsopic inclusions in britholite-(Y). Secondary, formed by alteration along fractures. The Reiarsdal "thalenite" may be = Keiviiite-(Y). Griffin et al. (1979) notes that it is identical with the phase beta -Y2Si2O7 mineral with thortveitite structure reported from Høgetveit, Evje and Åskagen, Sweden
ⓘ Titanite
Formula: CaTiO(SiO4)
ⓘ Titanite var. Yttrium-bearing Titanite
Formula: (Ca,Y)TiSiO5
ⓘ 'Tombarthite-(Y)'
Formula: Y4(Si,H4)4O12-x(OH)4+2x
Description: As microscopic inclusions to 2mm in britholite-(Y). Secondary, formed by alteration along fractures. Discredited by IMA 2016. CNMNC Newsletter No. 34: all samples proved to be of heterogeneous nature.
ⓘ Uraninite
Formula: UO2
ⓘ Zircon
Formula: Zr(SiO4)
ⓘ Zircon var. Malacon
Formula: Zr(SiO4)
