Specimens of adamite in the Natural History Museum, London supposedly collected here in 1953-55 by Arthur Kingsbury (1906-68) are now considered "implausible" and probably from Lavrion. This is one of a number of likely or definitely falsified Kingsbury localities.
Note on the mineral list: the status of beudantite, carminite, galena, meneghinite, mimetite, and scorodite at this locality has also been changed to "unconfirmed" due to the high probability of fraudulent recording of discovery by A.W.G. Kingsbury.

| ⓘ Formula: Pb13CuSb7S24 Description: Kingsbury (1965): "Here the mineral is massive and compact, and not readily distinguishable from some of the jamesonite that occurs in the area. The material is fairly fresh, and may well have been taken out in the reopening of the Trewethen adit about 1943 or in a later excavation or trial." |
