Galena from
Roughton Gill Mine, Roughton Gill, Caldbeck, Allerdale, Cumbria, England, UK


Locality type:Mine
Classification
Species:Galena
Formula:PbS
Comments:Cooper & Stanley (1990): "The only notable galena specimen seen in this study is purported to come from here: it is a Bryce M. Wright specimen, in the Russell Collection, BM(NH), and comprises an almost solid mass of cube-octahedra to 9mm with 'hacked quartz'."

Bridges et al. (2011): "Galena was the main ore from the mine and worked from all the levels. Shaw (1970) notes that it was the main ore in the central part of the ‘Great Bunch’ opened up from the 60-fathom level, occurring as ‘cubical galena’. Good crystalline specimens appear to be rare and Cooper and Stanley (1990, p. 96) are doubtful that an excellent specimen of cubo-octahedral galena in the Russell Collection in the NHM actually originated from the mine. In this study, it is surprisingly uncommon in specimen material but occurs as cleavage fragments on some specimens, mainly in quartz, and as small cubo-octahedral crystals to 2 mm in cavities in quartz with sphalerite in one case."
