Description: | This very fine example of campylite, which contains lead and arsenic, is a variety of the mineral mimetite. It is only known to occur at the classic locality of Dry Gill Mine in the Caldbeck Fells of Cumbria, which has a world-wide reputation as a source of secondary lead minerals. Crystals of campylite are typically curved, and have a squat, barrel-shaped form. The orange-yellow colour is typical. | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Identifier: | emu.ecatalogue.earthsciences.505372 | Go to resource |
