| Species: | Greenockite |
| Formula: | CdS |
| Formation: | Primary |
| Comments: | Though reportedly occurring with sphalerite at several Connecticut localities, these reports appear to be based solely on the yellow color. While plausible, they lack analytical confirmation; both chemical and structural to differentiate it from similar appearing, dimorphous hawleyite. Schooner (1961) claims greenockite rarely forms intergrowths with sphalerite here. |
