Cerussite & minor Anglesite

Reference: 2996

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.  One face of the galena on this specimen has white to clear cerussite crystals some contacted whilst a small cavity on the other side of the specimen contains well formed transparent Anglesite crystals. Ex P. Briscoe collection. For further details of this mineral occurrence see the Journal of the Russell Society, Volume 24, 2021.
