Although it has been now confirmed on specimens collected from the Susanna Mine in 2010. It would appear that many old specimens have been found wanting, mostly turning out to be Mn-Oxides or mottramite. Work is continuing to try and locate an authentic 'old' specimen in the Natural History Museum London and the Hunterian Museum, Glasgow. |
