Cerussite & Hydrocerussite

Reference: 2995

In the 1980's an unusual lead and vanadium deposit was discovered in N.E. Derbyshire. Galena, the main lead ore, had in places altered to form a number of interesting secondary minerals.  A  32x20mm cavity in this specimen hosts a large first generation brown Cerussite crystal surrounded by smaller clear ones associated with clusters of hydrocerusssite part altered to cerussite.  Ex. P. Briscoe collection. For further details of this mineral occurrence see the Journal of the Russell Society, Volume 24, 2021.
