Smallcleugh mine is recorded to have been developed from 1770 for a short time, working a series of veins and strata-bound replacement deposits (flats) believed to have been first encountered in 1776 associated with the Handsome Mea and Smallcleugh veins. Although the mine does not appear to have gotten into its stride until 1787, several other veins and flat deposits were also developed before the mine closed in the early 1900s. In 1963 an abortive attempted was made to locate further ore reserves. The most well-known account is the dinner held underground by the Masonic Lodge in the so-called Ballroom Flats in 1901. The first amateur exploration of the mine may have been in the late 1960s.
Smallcleugh mine in the North Pennine Orefield is well known amongst British mineral collectors for good examples of galena, sphalerite, ankerite, and calcite, and to a much lesser extent quartz, all of which have been collected for many years since access was regained. Excellent specimens of single black complex sphalerite crystals to 1.5cm or so on white matrix were collected from a replacement deposit above the so-called Hydraulic shaft. Single galena crystals to 4cm could be collected from cavities in the strata-bound replacement deposits (flats) and veins. Less well known are the secondary species: secondary minerals mostly of zinc, copper, lead, and iron, rare nickel, and manganese have occasionally been found. Many of the secondary minerals from Smallcleugh would be only of interest to micro-mineral collectors. Many of the flat deposits now have modern names such as Wheel Flats (from a set of ore cart wheels found there, the old name may have been Browns Flat), while Whit Hudsons Flat and Hetheringtons Flat and cross-cut are possibly an original name. Other modern names are Incline Flats (an incline level leads into these workings), Old Fan Flats (parts of a ventilator fan found here), New Fan Flats (near the Old Fan Flats), North End Flats (?), Smallcleugh Main Flats (after the mine), The Ball Room Flat (named after a Victorian Masonic dinner party held there), Zinc Flat (from a high sphalerite content), High Flats (above the Smallcleugh Horse Level), Proud's Sump Flat (after the sump near these Flat workings), and Gullyback Flats (?). The rises and sumps appear to have mostly retained their old names, e.g. Spottiswood, Proud's, and Luke Halls.

Standard Detailed Gallery Strunz Chemical ElementsDetailed Mineral List:
| βͺ Ankerite Formula: Ca(Fe2+,Mg)(CO3)2 Colour: White to creamy Description: Ankerite is the most common constituent of the metasomatic deposits in this mine and many others in the orefield. The colour is white-creamy in unoxidized specimens showing typical saddle shaped crystals to 1cm. Oxidised examples from the Nenthead mines varies in colour from pale creamy brown and yellow to black. |
| β Annabergite Formula: Ni3(AsO4)2 · 8H2O Colour: white to very pale green Description: Some annabergite from this mine is Sb enriched. (Pale green translucent balls and small botryoidal masses, where at first thought also to be annabergite, furthere anaysis has found Mg, Ni and Ca) |
| β Aragonite Formula: CaCO3 Colour: Colourless to white Description: Forming radial acicular white colourless crystals to 0.5mm, and small mats of crystals to 1cm+. References: |
| β Baryte Formula: BaSO4 Colour: Colourless to tinted yellow Description: The Smallcluegh Mine lays mostly out side the Baryte Zone. There for baryte is not at all common from the mine, and may be considered rare. Baryte from this mine is restricted to very few areas forming as a primary and secondary mineral. References: |
| β Beaverite-(Cu) Formula: Pb(Fe3+2Cu)(SO4)2(OH)6 Colour: Yellow to brown Description: Usually as a yellow powdery crust to seveal cms, and as pustules to 4mm dia. Very rarely forms sparkling vitreous crystal druses composed of minute yellow to yellow-brown micro-crystals References: |
| β 'Bindheimite' Formula: Pb2Sb2O6O Colour: Dirty yellow Description: Identified while investigating small nickel bering ankerite veinlets in the mine. Forms as very rare dull yellow pseudomorphs after probable ullmannite crystals. References: |
| βͺ Bottinoite Formula: Ni2+Sb5+2(OH)12 · 6H2O Colour: Light blue-green Description: Bottinoite from the Smallcleugh Mine is comparable with the same mineral from Hendra Fellen Mine in Mid-Wales in terms of crystal form, although only found on 7 specimens from Smallcleugh Mine. References: |
| βͺ Brianyoungite Formula: Zn3(CO3,SO4)(OH)4 Colour: White Description: Specimens of hydrozincite from this mine should be tested to confirm that they are not brianyoungite. Some of the brianyoungite crystals associated with a small nickel rich area in the mine are tinted pale light green, possibly due to a very small amount of Ni in the chemical structure. It only takes a very very small amount of Ni to give some minerals the green colouration. References: |
| β Brochantite Formula: Cu4(SO4)(OH)6 Colour: Emerald green Description: As emerald green scattered micro-crystals and small thin drusy crusts covering areas to 1cm +. Associated with gypsum, beverite-Cu, schulenbergite, and possible serpierite. References: |
| β Calcite Formula: CaCO3 Colour: Translucent white to colourless Description: A common mineral throughout the mine, forming crystals to 3 cms in diameter displaying major shallow pyramid faces with minor development of the prism faces. Commonly forming crystals richly scattered over an ankerite matrix. An area near the Bogg Shaft, from a brecciated area has in the past furnished cabinet size specimens of typical calcite crystals to 2.5cm dia. |
| β Cerussite Formula: PbCO3 Colour: White Description: Occurs as a minute crystalline alteration of galena,as micro prismatic, and bladed twinned crystals <0.4mm. References: |
| β Chalcanthite ? Formula: CuSO4 · 5H2O Description: No analysis written or collector reference has been found to substantiate the occurrence of chalcanthite from this mine. Possibly blue-green sulphates where thought to be this species. |
| β Chalcopyrite Formula: CuFeS2 Colour: Metallic yellow with various tarnish colours. Description: Occasionally found as crystals to 0.8cm on annkerite, and has been seen from the dumps in crystals to 0.5cm richly investing an ankerite matrix to 10cm x 7cm. References: |
| β Cuprite Formula: Cu2O Colour: Red to maroon Description: So far only found on a few micro-specimens derived from a specimen collected in Nov 2010. References: |
| β Dolomite Formula: CaMg(CO3)2 Colour: White to colourless, yellow. Description: Most of the specimens which have been classified as dolomite are actually ankerite. But dolomite has been found as Zn/Mg enriched crystals associated with a nickel berring area in the mine. Tests should be under take to confirm that a specimen is dolomite. |
| β Epsomite ? Formula: MgSO4 · 7H2O Description: So far no written analysis or collector reference has been found to confirm the occurrence at this mine |
| β Fluorite Formula: CaF2 Description: Fluorite from the Nenthead mines dose not form in the abundance it dose in the Weardale area., being restricted to some localised areas in the mines of the Nenthead area. Judging from dump material above the Smallcleugh mine shallow shafts penetrating the sandstone members, fluorite appears to be βmore abundantβ. Although all the crystals so far collected are small from the sandstone horizons. References: |
| βͺ Galena Formula: PbS Colour: Grey Description: Cubic and cubo-octahedral crystals to 10cms have reputedly been collected from the large cavities in the replacement ore body; crystals are common in the 2.5cm range. |
| β Goslarite Formula: ZnSO4 · 7H2O References: |
| β Gypsum Formula: CaSO4 · 2H2O Colour: Colourless to white Description: Found in most areas in the mine. References: |
| β Hydromagnesite Formula: Mg5(CO3)4(OH)2 · 4H2O Colour: White Description: Forms white balls to 1mm and botryoidal area to several mm. References: |
| β Hydroniumjarosite ? Formula: (H3O)Fe3+3(SO4)2(OH)6 Colour: Light Yellow |
| β Hydrozincite Formula: Zn5(CO3)2(OH)6 Colour: White Description: Many so called hydrozincite specimens from this mine should be tested to confirm that it is not brianyoungite. |
| β Jarosite Formula: KFe3+3(SO4)2(OH)6 Description: SEM image on Mineral Paradice Webb Site. See Hydroniumjarosite (priv com David Green) References: |
| β Ktenasite Formula: ZnCu4(SO4)2(OH)6 · 6H2O Colour: Blue-green Description: All of the ktenasite from this mine should be tested to see if it is ktenasite or the Zn analog of ktenasite. |
| β Malachite Formula: Cu2(CO3)(OH)2 Colour: Green Description: Found as hemispheres <0.5mm on and near crystals of chalcopyrite References: |
| β Melanterite Formula: Fe2+(H2O)6SO4 · H2O Colour: Pale green to almost white Description: All though no analysis has been found to confirm that melanterite occurs at the Smallcleugh mine it is probably a very good bet that it dose. |
| β Millerite Formula: NiS Colour: Metallic yellow Description: Very rare restricted to 2 or 3 areas in the mine, usually found as micro-acicular crystals in various states of alteration to Ni secondary mineral. References: |
| β Namuwite Formula: Zn4(SO4)(OH)6 · 4H2O Colour: Light blue-green Description: Found in one restricted area in the mine, in the Second Sun Vein. References: |
| β Pyrite Formula: FeS2 Colour: Pale metallic yelow, commonly tarnished Description: Crystals usually small <5mm cubic, although crystals have been found to over 2cm. And as Hemispherical forms to 1cm and small botryoidal groups. References: |
| β Quartz Formula: SiO2 Colour: Translucent white to colourless Description: A common mineral forming rare veins to a few cms wide, and crystals to 1cm. Quartz from this mine normally only develop the pyramid faces with very little growth of the prism. Fine beds of pyramidal colourless to white quartz have been noted lining replacement cavities to 20cms. References: |
| β Schulenbergite Formula: (Cu,Zn)7(SO4)2(OH)10 · 3H2O Colour: Light blue-green Description: Crystals are minute hexagonal <0.2mm, sometimes forming small aggregates to a few mm. |
| β Serpierite Formula: Ca(Cu,Zn)4(SO4)2(OH)6 · 3H2O Colour: Light blue-green Description: Forms micro-lath-like crystals. Some supposed serpierite specimens appear not to be this species, test are under way to prove or disprove this assumption |
| β Siderite Formula: FeCO3 Colour: Brown, oxidised examples black Description: By far the least common carbonate species in the mine, from brown to black. References: |
| β Smithsonite Formula: ZnCO3 Description: Found in a small veinlet near the High Zinc Flates. References: |
| βͺ Sphalerite Formula: ZnS Colour: Black, dark brown Description: Specimens are dark brown to black due to the presence of iron in solid solution. Small crystals less than 2mm are sometimes of the ruby variety.
Of particular interest and great rarity are specimens from the replacement deposit above the Hydraulic Shaft, which have fossils coated by white calcite and sprinkled with black sphalerite crystals to 1cm.
The deposit was originally discovered by David Lloyd, and Richard Barstow in the 1970's. David was testing the level wall for hollow sounds indicating a possible cavity, when part of the wall collapsed in leading to this remarkable deposit.
|
| β Sulphur Formula: S8 Colour: Almost colourless to pale yellow. Description: Forms micro rounded crystals to 0.75mm, and small crystal clusters to 2mm. Of particular interest are well formed sulphur micro-crystals very sparsely scattered amongst contrasting white micro-crystal mats of brianyoungite. References: |
