9 valid minerals.

Detailed Mineral List:

ⓘ Aragonite
Formula: CaCO3
Description: "Aragonite is a common accessary mineral and attractive specimens are common at the Trentham quarry as large sprays of colourless to white and translucent acicular crystals up to 5 cm long. Occasionally the terminations have an attractive yellowish tinge."
ⓘ Calcite
Formula: CaCO3
Description: At the Trentham quarry calcite has been observed as scalenohedral crystals associated with chabazite, phillipsite and aragonite.
ⓘ Chabazite-Ca
Formula: (Ca,K2,Na2)2[Al2Si4O12]2 · 12H2O
Description: "At the northern end of the Trentham Falls quarry, chabazite crystals form pseudocubic rhombohedrons up to 4 mm across lining the walls of cavities. Associated minerals include phillipsite, sprays of acicular aragonite and scalenohedrons of calcite. The minerals have crystallized in vughs which are coated with an orange or greenish clay, possibly montmorillonite."
ⓘ 'Garnet Group'
Formula: X3Z2(SiO4)3
ⓘ Ilmenite
Formula: Fe2+TiO3
ⓘ 'Monazite Group'
Formula: REE(PO4)
ⓘ Opal
Formula: SiO2 · nH2O
ⓘ Opal var. Opal-AN
Formula: SiO2 · nH2O
ⓘ Phillipsite-K
Formula: K6(Si10Al6)O32 · 12H2O
Description: "At Trentham Falls quarry some attractive phillipsites have been collected. They often occur on a brown clay and are associated with chabazite and small spheres of siderite. The crystals up to 5mm show twinning and they are quite transparent with very few fractures."
ⓘ Siderite
Formula: FeCO3
Description: Siderite occurs as small brown sphere associated with phillipsite.
ⓘ Xenotime-(Y)
Formula: Y(PO4)
ⓘ Zircon
Formula: Zr(SiO4)
