| ⓘ Baryte Formula: BaSO4 Description: Rather crumbly, coarsely-crystalline barite hosts the secondary minerals at this location. Tan to white blades to 1 cm have been noted. |
| ⓘ Cerussite Formula: PbCO3 References: |
| ⓘ Fluorite Formula: CaF2 References: |
| ⓘ Galena Formula: PbS |
| ⓘ Vanadinite Formula: Pb5(VO4)3Cl Description: Excellent, gemmy, maroon to red crystals to 3 mm occur in vugs to 4 cm in barite-goethite gossan. |
| ⓘ Wulfenite Formula: Pb(MoO4) Description: Transparent yellow to orange blades to 1 cm line very large vugs (to .5 meters) just inside the adit opening. Also occurs in smaller vugs throughout, often with vanadinite perched along crystal edges. |
