| Species: | Atacamite |
| Formula: | Cu2(OH)3Cl |
| Comments: | Kingsbury reference. The published note (1956) gave the locality as 'a small copper vein near Potts Gill' but unpublished manuscripts in the BM(NH) make it clear that the specimens originated from dumps of the 'Old No. 1 level', a source of many rare species (see also Hartley, 1984).
Aggregates of indistinct crystals either with malachite and iron oxides or alone on a compact reddish matrix. This latter material is very similar to a specimen in the BM(NH) labelled 'Roughton Gill' and was compared directly with it by Kingsbury & Hartley who concluded that 'it would hardly seem possible for them all not to have come from the same provenance'. |
