Extract

In a description of some British pseudomorphs, published in 1896 (Mineralogical Magazine, XI, p. 272), I mentioned that the sky-blue and lavender-blue mineral sometimes found encrusting the pyromorphite from Roughten Gill is not a zinc carbonate or silicate, as commonly supposed, but is a phosphate of lead and aluminium. Pseudomorphs of this substance after pyromorphite are not rare among Roughten Gill specimens, and these were described in the above mentioned paper as examples of plumboresinite after pyromorphite.
