Detailed Mineral List:
| ⓘ Alunogen Formula: Al2(SO4)3 · 17H2O |
| ⓘ Antlerite Formula: Cu3(SO4)(OH)4 Description: Locality might be uncertain - see discussion on https://www.mindat.org/mesg-6-418608.html. References: |
| ⓘ Arsenopyrite Formula: FeAsS |
| ⓘ Azurite Formula: Cu3(CO3)2(OH)2 Description: "Azurite is fairly common as deep blue stains, veinlets and small nodules in the northern workings, where it seems to have been the main ore mineral. In the dumps of the South Shaft, azurite is only rarely seen as rosettes of dark blue acicular prisms, sometimes overlaying crusts of lavendulan." |
| ⓘ Chalcocite Formula: Cu2S Description: "Chalcocite always occurs massive, as a replacement of chalcopyrite or arsenopyrite." |
| ⓘ Chalcopyrite Formula: CuFeS2 Description: "The only primary copper mineral appears to be chalcopyrite which is seen only as rare residual grains in chalcocite." |
| ⓘ Covellite Formula: CuS Description: "Covellite was noted as pseudomorphs after arsenopyrite crystals. Clusters of arsenopyrite crystals bearing a thin film of purple covellite occur in some vugs where the sulphides are encrusted by clear colourless scorodite." |
| ⓘ Goethite Formula: Fe3+O(OH) Description: "Limonite, the earthy form of goethite, is encountered throughout the mine, particularly in the northern workings where the load was more cupriferous." |
| ⓘ Gypsum Formula: CaSO4 · 2H2O |
| ⓘ Hexahydrite Formula: Mg(H2O)6(SO4) |
| ⓘ Iodargyrite Formula: AgI References: |
| ⓘ Jarosite Formula: KFe3+3(SO4)2(OH)6 Description: "Jarosite occurs throughout the mine as spongy boxworks and crusts of small crystals. It is light orange yellow to honey brown, dull and translucent. It crystallizes as small rhombahedra with large basal plane. Jarosite crystals occur on limonite, and prisms of clear, colourless scorodite have been seen upon jarosite, which evidently formed early in the paragenetic sequence." |
| ⓘ Lavendulan Formula: NaCaCu5(AsO4)4Cl · 5H2O Description: "Lavendulan was the last arsenate to crystallize. It is found only on the dump of the South Shaft, where it is relatively abundant. The lavendulan is bright sky blue, with a lustre varying from pearly to dull vitreous. It occurs as powdery to scaly films in schistose quartz, but in voids in hard quartz it occasionally forms rosettes of acicular crystals. It is more commonly found as hemispherical clusters of minute square tablets which are sector twinned into four triangular segments. In solid quartz, lavendulan often occurs as pseudomorphs after scorodite, which had itself replaced arsenopyrite as spongy white form." |
| ⓘ Malachite Formula: Cu2(CO3)(OH)2 Description: "Malachite if found chiefly in the northern workings as a replacement of azurite." |
| ⓘ Metavoltine Formula: K2Na6Fe2+Fe3+6O2(SO4)12 · 18H2O |
| ⓘ Metazeunerite Formula: Cu(UO2)2(AsO4)2 · 8H2O Description: "On one specimen found in the Northern workings, pearly apple-green square scales on porous limonite were observed. The flakes were strongly fluorescent in ultra-violet light and are probably metazeunerite." |
| ⓘ Native Bismuth Formula: Bi References: |
| ⓘ Native Gold Formula: Au References: |
| ⓘ Natrojarosite Formula: NaFe3(SO4)2(OH)6 |
| ⓘ Natropharmacosiderite ? Formula: NaFe3+4(AsO4)3(OH)4 · 4H2O |
| ⓘ Olivenite Formula: Cu2(AsO4)(OH) Description: "A relatively rare mineral at Preamimma, olivinite occurs in the dumps of the North workings and of the South Shaft. It is recognized by its brownish green colour, bright glassy lustre, translucency and occurrence as slender, longitudinally striated prisms with imperfect terminations. The olivine may grow over crystals of amber pharmacosiderite and in turn be overlain by lavendulan." |
| ⓘ Orpiment Formula: As2S3 Description: ((Possibly confused with arseniosiderite?)) |
| ✪ Pharmacosiderite Formula: KFe3+4(AsO4)3(OH)4 · 6-7H2O Description: "At Preamimma, pharmacosiderite occurs in two distinct habits. On the dumps of the South Shaft it occurs on limonite or on scorodite encrusted quartz, as scattered, equant cube-octahedron combinations which are deep amber brown, glassy and transparent. On the dump of the No. 2 Shaft, it is found as turbid, sea green, sharp, unmodified cubes lining joints in the mica schist country rock. In this habit it could easily be mistaken for fluorite." |
| ⓘ Pyrite Formula: FeS2 |
| ⓘ Quartz Formula: SiO2 |
| ⓘ Scorodite Formula: Fe3+AsO4 · 2H2O Description: "Scorodite the first of the arsenates to crystallize, is found throughout the mine as crusts of minute glittering crystals lining small vugs or coating the walls of thin cracks or joints in quartz, limonite or arsenopyrite. It commonly occurs as equant pyramids, terminated by a near square basal plane, but in rare cases it has crystallized in forms moderately elongated on the b axis, which show the (101) hemipyramid, as well as pyramid and base. The scorodite ranges in colour from pale sea green to white, colourless and various shades of brown. It always has a bright glassy lustre and varies from turbid to completely transparent." |
