| ⓘ Anatase Formula: TiO2 Habit: {101} tetragonal dipyramids ("quadroctahedra"), sometimes modified by irregularly developed faces Colour: blue (reflected light), greyish yellow (translucent light) References: |
| ⓘ 'Apatite' Formula: Ca5(PO4)3(Cl/F/OH) References: |
| ⓘ Arsenopyrite Formula: FeAsS Description: Individual crystals of over 1cm in size are formed by the assembly of small elongated crystals following the [010] axis which produces striations on the faces {100} and {001}. Twins according to (100) or (001) occur very frequently. In the quartzites of Nil-St-Vincent, Renard (1884) has found quartz pseudomorphs of arsenopyrite. References: |
| ⓘ Brookite Formula: TiO2 Habit: up to 0.5mm, flattened according to (010) and showing {010}, {001}, {101}, {201}, {011} and {111} References: |
| ⓘ Chalcopyrite Formula: CuFeS2 |
| ⓘ 'Chlorite Group' |
| ⓘ Dolomite Formula: CaMg(CO3)2 |
| ⓘ Epidote Formula: (CaCa)(AlAlFe3+)O[Si2O7][SiO4](OH) |
| ⓘ Galena Formula: PbS Description: Contains tellurium and bismuth (Jorissen, 1888). References: |
| ⓘ Kaolinite Formula: Al2(Si2O5)(OH)4 |
| ⓘ 'Limonite' References: |
| ⓘ Malachite Formula: Cu2(CO3)(OH)2 |
| ⓘ Monazite-(Ce) Formula: Ce(PO4) Habit: tabular rhombs Colour: yellow, very weakly pleochroic References: |
| ⓘ 'Monazite Group' Formula: REE(PO4) References: |
| ⓘ Muscovite Formula: KAl2(AlSi3O10)(OH)2 |
| ⓘ Nacrite ? Formula: Al2(Si2O5)(OH)4 Description: "Ledoux (1913) provides optical characteristics, however, insufficient observational conditions lead to the fact that this identification should be considered doubtful." (Hatert et al., 2002) |
