Mindat lists over sixty mineral species from the site; it is the type locality for one mineral – fluoro-leakeite. It is also the type locality for several types of rocks – Grännaite, Lakarpite, Kaxtorpite, and Pulaskite.

For collectors, the biggest draw is probably the eudialyte from the site which is often a pinky-red colour and typically occurs as masses in a white feldspar matrix. This material is sometimes sold cut and polished.

Crystalline eudialyte is sometimes found too.
