| Species: | Atacamite |
| Formula: | Cu2(OH)3Cl |
| Comments: | Bridges et al. (2011): "There are three specimens of atacamite in the NHM collections that Kingsbury claimed to have found at Hay Gill. [...] There are sound geochemical reasons for saying there is no possibility that a specimen as rich as this could have originated in the Caldbeck Fells and the same is true for the two lesser specimens. They are all virtually certainly fraudulent." |
