ⓘ 'Adamite-Olivenite Series'
ⓘ Anglesite
Formula: PbSO4
ⓘ Aragonite
Formula: CaCO3
ⓘ Aurichalcite
Formula: (Zn,Cu)5(CO3)2(OH)6
ⓘ Azurite
Formula: Cu3(CO3)2(OH)2
ⓘ Baryte
Formula: BaSO4
ⓘ 'Bindheimite'
Formula: Pb2Sb2O6O
✪ Bournonite
Formula: PbCuSbS3
Habit: Prismatic, frequently twinned. cristals up to 10cm & more
Colour: Metallic grey, colored blue-green by alteration sulfates
ⓘ Brianyoungite
Formula: Zn3(CO3,SO4)(OH)4
ⓘ Brochantite ?
Formula: Cu4(SO4)(OH)6
Description: Questionned : SEM-EDS performed but a PXRD would be necessary to exclude antlerite or another Copper sulfate
ⓘ Calcite
Formula: CaCO3
ⓘ Cerussite
Formula: PbCO3
✪ Cesàrolite
Formula: PbMn4+3O6(OH)2
Habit: marbles, with typical "oignon" concentric structure
Colour: grey-black
ⓘ Chalcopyrite
Formula: CuFeS2
ⓘ Claraite
Formula: (Cu,Zn)15(CO3)4(AsO4)2(SO4)(OH)14 · 7H2O
ⓘ Covellite
Formula: CuS
ⓘ Cuprite
Formula: Cu2O
Habit: Xenomorphous in small veins. also octahedrons and cubo-octahedrons
Colour: metallic red
ⓘ Devilline
Formula: CaCu4(SO4)2(OH)6 · 3H2O

ⓘ Hydrozincite
Formula: Zn5(CO3)2(OH)6
Habit: Fibrous crusts, often mixed with aurichalcite
Colour: white, pale blue when mixed with aurichalcite
ⓘ Imiterite ?
Formula: Ag2HgS2
Description: SEM-EDS showed S / Ag / Hg with ratios about 4 / 4 / 1. Sample shows strong surface alteration, and is too small to perform XRD without totally destroying it. So it will remain questionned for now.
ⓘ Ktenasite
Formula: ZnCu4(SO4)2(OH)6 · 6H2O
Habit: 2 habits (usually found together) : - Most common : dark bottle green prismatic crystals - less common : olive green sharp blades
Colour: Dark bottle green to green-black. Olive green
Description: Previously analysed by H. Sarp, ang never seen still... Recently (2016) re-discovered by Y. et J.-M. Vessely and XRD analysed by Michel Blondieau at "Laboratoire de minéralogie, université de Liège (B)"
