Comments: | From Schooner (circa 1980s): "Massicot was the most abundant of the lead oxides from the now-collapsed tunnel of the lead mine nearest the river. X-ray study, however, showed the presence of minor litharge. A sample of weathered galena, picked up on the cobalt mine dump below Great Hill, had a rather thick tan crust. It gave a very good X-ray pattern of litharge." |
