Cooper & Stanley (1990):
"A remarkable variety of altered gabbro is exposed in Brandy Gill. Close to the southern margin of the complex, biotite extensively replaces the primary mafic minerals, and sericitization and albitization of plagioclase feldspar have occurred. Further away from the contact, actinolite is common as a replacement of the primary amphiboles and pyroxenes, chloritization of the feldspars is almost complete and ilmenite is altered to titanite."
Cooper & Stanley (1991):
"An east-west lead vein crosses Brandy Gill just over 500 meters upstream from the Carrock mine and has been tried from levels in both banks of the gill. The two levels in the west bank have been explored in this century and shown to be mostly barren, although the lower level does show some stoping. With no evidence to the contrary, this mine is assumed to be the working in Brandy Gill referred to below."
"Records for lead and copper mining in Brandy Gill date from the early 18th century, but thereafter there is no known record of mining before 1852. The mine was operated sporadically until about 1873 but only a few tons of lead and copper ore were raised."
"J.G. Goodchild, of the Scottish Geological Survey, found wulfenite here in 1875 but the locality only really became of interest to collectors in the 1950s following the report of a suite of rare supergene minerals including bayldonite, duftite, beudantite, carminite, lindgrenite, etc. (see Hartley, 1984). Stolzite was also found here, the first authenticated British occurrence."
Note on the mineral list:
Descloizite, 'grünlingite', lindgrenite, mottramite etc. supposedly collected here by Arthur Kingsbury (1906-1968) are now considered "very doubtful" (the descloizite is probably from Arizona, USA). This is one of a number of likely or definitely falsified Kingsbury localities.

| ⓘ Duftite var. Calcio-duftite Formula: (Pb,Ca)CuAsO4(OH) Description: Cooper & Stanley (1990): Kingsbury & Hartley claimed that material they had collected resembled, but was not identical with duftite was actually an intermediate between duftite and conichalcite. They coined the term 'calcio-duftite' for this mineral on the basis of the intermediate nature of the x-ray powder spacings and a qualitative (spectrographic) analysis that showed significant calcium. Claringbull also mentioned the affinity of the x-ray pattern of Brandy Gill duftite with conichalcite and commented on the variation of refractive index within individual spherules of the mineral which, he suggested, resulted from a corresponding variation in composition with the core being richer in lead than the outer areas. |
| ⓘ Duftite var. Duftite-β Formula: PbCu(AsO4)(OH) Description: Cooper & Stanley (1990): "Most duftite from Brandy Gill appears to be β-duftite as defined by Guillemin (1956: 70), who re-examined Claringbull's (1951) x-ray data. Infra-red absorption spectrophotometry readily distinguishes α- and β-duftite and also shows the predominance of the latter at this locality (R.S.W. Braithwaite, pers. comm.)." |
| ⓘ 'Duftite-alpha' Formula: PbCu(AsO4)(OH) Habit: globular masses Description: Cooper & Stanley (1990): "a few specimens recently examined appear to be α-duftite which, at Brandy Gill, forms small globular masses on quartz (M.P. Cooper Collection, det. P.J. Dunn, Smithsonian Institution: XRD) or minute crystals with agardite-mixite (det. BM(NH): XRD, C.M. Leppington, pers. comm.)" |
| ⓘ 'Feldspar Group' |
| ⓘ Ferrimolybdite ? Formula: Fe2(MoO4)3 · nH2O Description: Cooper & Stanley (1990) p. 66: "In 1820 Heuland sold a collection of minerals, that contained several fine scheelite crystals [...], apatite and molybdenite (one with 'acide molybdique jaune' - most likely ferrimolybdite), to Charles Hampden Turner of Godalming, Surrey." |
| ⓘ Galena Formula: PbS Habit: massive Description: Cooper & Stanley (1990): "Drusy quartz epimorphs after a cubic mineral (to 15mm on edge) occur in a vein exposure on the flank of Brandy Gill above the east level of the lead mine. The hollow 'boxes' are coated with small yellow-green mimetite crystals associated with rare stolzite tablets. The epimorphs probably represent original galena crystals. No euhedral galena crystals have been reported but the massive sulphide is common."

| ⓘ Goethite Formula: Fe3+O(OH) |
| ⓘ 'Grünlingite' ? Description: Kingsbury reference. Kingsbury (1965): "For many years the bismuth telluride tetradymite (Bi2T2S) has been accepted as a British species, but this status has never been satisfactorily established. It was originally thought to occur in Brandy Gill, Carrock Fell, Cumberland, though in 1858 Greg and Lettsom had stated that the mineral appeared to differ much in composition from other tetradymites. The Carrock mineral was later regarded as a new species and was named grünlingite, but further investigations have shown that these specimens are not all identical and probably represent several varieties or phases of the allied mineral joséite, with compositions near Bi4TeS2: none of them, so far, have proved to be tetradymite." |
