Kingsbury reference. Cooper & Stanley (1990): "During the characterization of cornubite as a new species (Claringbull et al., 1959: 2) two specimens from Potts Gill were examined. They were both collected by Kingsbury and showed 'light and dark green botryoidal cornubite, with on the latter specimen a bluish skin of cornwallite'. Although visually different, the two cornubite varieties yielded identical x-ray powder photographs, the data for which was tabulated by Claringbull et al. (op. cit.)."
