Description: | Plumbogummite is a very rare mineral, but it is generally thought that the most beautiful examples in the world are found at Roughten Gill Mine in the Caldbeck Fells of Cumbria. Plumbogummite contains lead and aluminium, and is commonly found with pyromorphite, which also contains lead. The combination of pale blue plumbogummite and vivid green pyromorphite crystals is very attractive. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | rocks and minerals natural world | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
