Description: | *non loc.* unknown From William Hunter's original collection. Nice. Notes in the museum catalogue suggest that this may be from "Rampgill, Nenthead. V. similar in Geol. Surv.". The Trustees catalogue of 1794-7 gives, under Lead: "No. 62. Galena, the surfaces of whose crystals are whole, but underneath there are vacuities and the Ore is of an irregular porous texture as if part of it had escaped. The surfaces are universally of various colour. In some places there are crystals of Black-Jack. From Ramgill, in Ninthead, Cumberland. [=Rampgill, Nenthead]. No. 63. The same ore, excepting that the surface of the crystals are gone off". This sounds exactly like No. 63, but this can't be proven. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | CARBONATE : SULPHIDE : DISPLAY : MINERAL : EH_HUNTER_MINERALS : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
