Greenockite : CdS

Handlebar Hill Open Cut, Hilton deposits, Mount Isa district, Mt Isa - Cloncurry area, Queensland, Australia

A beautiful layer of crystalline greenockite, looking rather similar to sphalerite in some regards, on a bed of massive galena. Secondary, euhedral galena can be seen in the top and bottom left hand portions of the image. Field of view 5mm.

Siglo Veinte Mine (Siglo XX Mine; Llallagua Mine; Catavi), Llallagua, Rafael Bustillo Province, Potosí Department, Bolivia

8.0 x 6.3 x 3.5 cm. This piece has several rich pockets of dense microcrystallized orange/red greenockite, in protected cavities of cassiterite ore. A rare old-time specimen from Llallagua with rich association of the very rare cadmium sulfide greenockite. This is one of two associated specimens (perhaps once joined), that were collected during ...
