Species: | Bournonite |
Formula: | PbCuSbS3 |
Comments: | Green et al. (2008): "Bournonite was noted intergrown with galena from workings on the South Vein in higher Roughton Gill in an unpublished manuscript by Arthur Kingsbury (Cooper and Stanley, 1990). We have been unable to find any bournonite labelled from higher Roughton Gill in the Kingsbury Collection, but the mineral has been found as microscopic inclusions in galena on the strike extension of South Vein at Driggith Mine (Stanley and Vaughan, 1981). Although the record is quite likely to be correct, it is perhaps best considered unproven." |
