The minerals from this site are often in the form of geodes or solid nodules of various forms of quartz, chalcedony, and agate.
There are other minerals too, but those are by far the best known. I have had smoky quartz and blue agate geodes with calcite crystals growing inside from here – it is a great locale for Agate geodes. Quartz and Siderite geodes are reasonably common too.
I highly recommend having a look through the specimen photographs on Mindat.
