The following is a list of minerals, fossils and interesting lithologies reputed to be in either common occurrence or rare residue or microspecimen occurrence. The list was compiled from books, articles, studies, miners' and collectors' accounts and probable rumors. Some minerals may be omitted, while others could be listed and be only myths. No complete research has ever gathered a comprehensive catalog of all minerals from the Kelly, and while the Mineralogical Record V. 20 #1 comes pretty close, you could possibly find a new species. GOOD LUCK!!!
