On the occurrence of the rare mineral nadorite in Cornwall, and of beraunite in Co. Cork, Ireland
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 March 2018
Extract
The rare mineral nadorite has hitherto been recorded from one locality only, namely, Jebel Nador in the province of Constantine, Algeria, where at one time it was found in considerable quantity associated with bindheimite, smithsonite, and galena in a deposit lying between lacustrine limestone and brown marl.
In the present notes I am able to record the occurrence of this mineral at the small antimony mine of Bodannon, St. Endellion, Cornwall, where I found a single specimen in 1907. Immediately after the reading of this paper, Professor A. Hutchinson of Cambridge most kindly sent me a specimen for examination which he had himself collected from the small dump at Bodannon in 1919, and this mineral, which had attracted his attention, also proved to be nadorite.
