Susannite from
Ecton Mine, Perkiomen Mines, Audubon, Lower Providence Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, USA


Locality type:Mine
Classification

Comments:Noted as very rare, identified by a few minute crystals and remained incompletely described by 1965. Discovered by Mark Robinson in the latter 1950's in an ancient underground stope of the Ecton Mine. Mistakenly, but understandably, misidentified as Leadhillite, later correctly identified by Mary. E. Mrose in early 1960's by optical and x-ray crystallographic analysis.
Habit:tabular, pseudohexagonal
Colour:colorless
Abundance at site:Very Rare
Confirmation
Validity:Confirmed
Confirmation Methods:Optical Analysis
