Kingsbury and Hartley (1958): "A closely allied mineral, containing 1.99 % Na2O and 3.5% K2O and showing affinities to both natrojarosite and alunite, has been collected from a quartz-carbonate vein cutting a highly altered quartz dolerite at Embleton Quarry, about 2 miles west of Bassenthwaite Lake railway station."

ⓘ 'Quartz dolerite' ?

Detailed Mineral List:

ⓘ Alunite ?

Formula: KAl₃(SO₄)₂(OH)₆

Description: Small colourless rhombs and white massive from a vein in a dolerite sill. Given the fact that this is a Kingsbury reference, it is highly likely to be fraudulent.
