1 Chemical analyses of a brittle mica from Sterling Hill show that it corresponds to the unnamed chlorine analogue of anandite.
2 Anorthoclase is no longer recognized as a separate species, but as an alkali feldspar intermediate between low sanidine and high albite. Albite is on the Franklin-Sterling Hill species list; sanidine is not. To which species existing specimens labeled “anorthoclase” belong is uncertain, pending further study. For that reason we do not yet include anorthoclase in the total species count.
3 Reported in Dunn (1995), with analysis, but the identification has not been corroborated by the cited authority.
4 Provenance uncertain. Added by Struwe (1957), but analyzed specimen is possibly from Amity, NY area rather than Franklin.
5 Possibly fluoro-edenite; further analyses needed to establish F:OH ratios.
6 Originally described as zinalsite; nomenclature changed by IMA.
7 Reported from Sterling Hill, but without supporting data. Further study needed.
8 Nomenclature revision pending with the IMA.
9 Originally described as villyaellenite from Sterling Hill in 1995, but subsequently redefined in 2009 as miguelromeroite.
10 Material from Franklin appears to be a nickel-dominant smectite clay, and thus properly labeled pimelite rather than willemseite, a nickel-dominant talc mineral. Further study needed.
11 Possibly phosphohedyphane or a related species; more detailed analysis required.
12 Roméite is no longer a species name but refers to a series of minerals intermediate between oxyplumboroméite and fluorcalcioroméite. Partial chemical analyses published in Dunn (1995, p. 604) suggest that the member present in the local area is either fluorcalcioroméite or, more likely, the as-yet-unnamed hydroxyl analogue of that species.
