Cooper & Stanley (1991):
"The Carrock mine is the only British tungsten deposit outside of southwestern England that has been worked commercially. It was only intermittently economic, notably during World War I. Its last period of operation was in the 1970's. The north-south tungsten-bearing veins, a well-known source of fine scheelite, apatite and other minerals, are cut by east-west lead veins; interaction between the two mineralizations has resulted in the formation of some interesting supergene minerals [...]"
Note: Kingsbury and Hartley occasionally refer to the Carrock mine site as "Grainsgill" (Cooper & Stanley, 1990).
Other/smaller named veins that have yielded insignificant amounts of ore are the Waterfall vein, Wilson vein, Nicholson vein, and 'Molybdenite' vein (Cooper & Stanley, 1990).
Notes on the mineral list:
This is one of a number of likely or definitely falsified Kingsbury localities.
1) Vanadinite supposedly collected here in 1953-55 by Arthur Kingsbury (1906-68) is now considered "very doubtful" and probably from New Mexico, USA.
2) Kingsbury and Hartley mention an 'old cross-cut at, or near, the junction of the east-west lead veins with the Emerson vein at the foot of Brandy Gill' (Hartley, 1984) where they claim to have found bayldonite, beaverite-(Cu), beudantite, bismite, cerussite, galena, hematite, hydrocerussite, linarite, mimetite-pyromorphite series, stolzite, vanadinite, and wulfenite.

| ⓘ Ankerite Formula: Ca(Fe2+,Mg)(CO3)2 Description: As a late infilling in the tungsten veins and in considerable amounts in the 'ankerite veins' (mineralized faults diverging north-westwards from the Emerson vein). Smythe & Dunham (1947) published an analysis of 'ankerite' from the Harding vein, but with only 7.5 wt% Fe this represents a ferroan dolomite. References: |

Idiomorphic crystals are common (up to 45mm), but usually partly overgrown by later minerals. Where the enclosing matrix is calcite excellent groups of lustrous striated arsenopyrite crystals have been exposed by dissolving the calcite in acid (R.W. Barstow, G. Wilson, pers. comm.)." |

The reference of Lysons & Lysons (1816: cx) to beryl from 'Caldew-beck ... found by the Rev. Mr. Mandall' probably refers to apatite." References: |

Bismite has been recorded from Carrock mine 'in minute amounts' as a yellowish white alteration of bismuthinite (Davidson & Thomson, 1951); and from the dumps of an old level 'at, or near, the junction of the east-west lead veins with the Emerson vein at the foot of Brandy Gill' (Hartley, 1984)."

Phillips (1837) first noted the occurrence. In its finely fibrous form, it is difficult to distinguish from acicular sulphosalts such as cosalite, jamesonite, and boulangerite and was described by Davidson & Thomson (1951: 142) as 'tufts of delicate hair-like crystals which easily become detached from the matrix and blow away in the wind.'" References: |

Cooper & Stanley (1990): "As unusually pale, almost cream yellow, 'thin, fibrous-radiating aggregates in joints in white vein-quartz... almost certainly from the Emerson vein' (Kingsbury & Hartley, 1957). Specimens in the Kingsbury Collection (BM(NH)) match this description." |
| ⓘ Cassiterite Formula: SnO2 Localities: Description: Cooper & Stanley (1990): "A few small crystal sections, embedded in quartz and mica, were found by Kingsbury in 1953 from the Harding vein 'new low-level cross-cut, south drive' and are represented by specimens in the Russell and Kingsbury Collections, BM(NH).
In addition, the King Collection (National Museum of Wales, Cardiff (NMW)) contains a good grey-brown incomplete geniculate twin, originally labelled scheelite, which, if authentic, is undoubtedly the best Carrock specimen extant. It may have been found during the 1940s working and was obtained by King from the H.F. Harwood collection (R.J. King, pers. comm.)
The 'ores of tin, both of a resinous and nearly black colour' in a matrix 'nearly as hard as tempered steel', reported by Parson & White (1829) from 'a vein at Brandy Gill near the Caldew' no doubt refer to scheelite and wolframite." References: |

| ⓘ 'Grünlingite' ? Description: Cooper & Stanley (1990): "A supposed new bismuth telluride described by Muthmann and Schröder (1897) but discredited by Peacock (1941). Many specimens labelled 'grünlingite' are in old collections: most are probably mixtures of josëite-A, bismuthinite, ingodite (Peacock, 1941; Zav'yalov & Begizov, 1981) and possibly also josëite-B."

Geochronology
Mineralization age: Phanerozoic : 282 Ma to 197 MaImportant note: This table is based only on rock and mineral ages recorded on mindat.org for this locality and is not necessarily a complete representation of the geochronology, but does give an indication of possible mineralization events relevant to this locality. As more age information is added this table may expand in the future. A break in the table simply indicates a lack of data entered here, not necessarily a break in the geologic sequence. Grey background entries are from different, related, localities.
