Williams (1982):

"Luddenite was observed on a few samples of dump material at a prospect for Ag-Pb-Cu near Artillery Peak, Mohave Co., Arizona in the spring of 1981. The ores exposed by prospecting are in a fault breccia cemented by quartz and abundant fluorite. Only relict nuggets of the primary galena and chalcopyrite occur in the material which is thoroughly oxidized. A major product of oxidation is alamosite, occurring as tabular euhedral crystals up to 10-12Β mm across. In some samples the alamosite is veined by fine-grained melanotekite and minor hyalotekite, the three lead silicates then tending to be replaced by massive but nearly earthy cerussite. Chalcopyrite is replaced by chalcosine, then shattuckite, finally by chrysocolla. Vuggy veinlets lined by drusy quartz cut all of the above minerals and the quartz is intergrown with, or coated by patches of luddenite. Again, the luddenite may alter in part to chrysocolla and lovely euhedral cerussite crystals. Stringers of cream-coloured leucoxene may lie within the quartz druses and are thus often trapped within luddenite as well. Rarely, tiny wickenburgite plates are scattered on the drusy quartz. Other species noted on specimens collected include wulfenite, mimetite, and malachite. These minerals are generally younger, and they seem to belong to a different and 'normal' oxidation assemblage."
