Cooper & Stanley (1990):

"A roughly N-S vein appears to have been tried near the head of the gill [NY307324]. The vein is predominantly of a hard gossany nature with spongy quartz impregnated with iron and manganese oxides. The locality is well known as a source of good, though small, crystals of pharmacosiderite. Several other arsenates and phosphates occur here and the locality has received a good deal of attention from collectors."

Detailed Mineral List:

ⓘ Bariopharmacosiderite
Formula: Ba0.5Fe3+4(AsO4)3(OH)4 · 5H2O
ⓘ Baryte
Formula: BaSO4
ⓘ Beraunite
Formula: Fe3+6(PO4)4O(OH)4 · 6H2O
Description: Cooper & Stanley (1990): "Listed by Hartley (1984). Young (1987) was wrong to suggest that Hartley's record was a misprint for braunite (J. Hartley, pers. comm.)."
ⓘ Beudantite
Formula: PbFe3+3(AsO4)(SO4)(OH)6
Habit: sheafy aggregates of acute rhombohedral crystals to 2 mm, partially embedded in massive beudantite on quartz; and minute (< 1 mm) brownish crystals of pseudo-octahedral aspect resulting from the equal development of the pinacoid and a rhombohedron. On this latter habit the rhombohedron faces are lustrous whilst the pinacoids are dull; these characters show that the habit is not an isometric octahedron (det. BM(NH): XRD).
Description: Cooper & Stanley (1990): "Occurs in three forms on specimens collected by D.R. Middleton from dumps of the old workings near the head of the gill."
ⓘ Braunite
Formula: Mn2+Mn3+6(SiO4)O8
Description: Cooper & Stanley (1990): "Listed in error for beraunite in Young (1987)."
ⓘ Cacoxenite ?
Formula: Fe3+24AlO6(PO4)17(OH)12 · 75H2O
Habit: fibrous
Colour: yellow
Description: Kingsbury reference? Cooper & Stanley (1990): "This appears to be the first published British occurrence of the species, although long-known from localities in Cornwall. Specimens in the Kingsbury Collection, BM(NH), show yellow fibres of cacoxenite on a 'limonitic' matrix."
ⓘ Carminite
Formula: PbFe3+2(AsO4)2(OH)2
ⓘ 'Chlorite Group'
ⓘ Cryptomelane
Formula: K(Mn4+7Mn3+)O16
ⓘ Dufrénite
Formula: Ca0.5Fe2+Fe3+5(PO4)4(OH)6 · 2H2O
ⓘ Goethite
Formula: Fe3+O(OH)
ⓘ Hematite
Formula: Fe2O3
ⓘ 'Iron oxide'
ⓘ Jarosite ?
Formula: KFe3+3(SO4)2(OH)6
Description: Kingsbury reference. Kingsbury & Hartley (1958): "in gossany vein-stuff from a north-south iron- manganese vein tried near the head of the Gill, 400 yards southwest of Coomb Height; forms compact brown crystalline masses and small (up to 2 mm.) brown rhombohedral crystals on goethite and saccharoidal quartz. The crystals resemble brownish pharmacosiderite also occurring here (B.M. 1956, 78; 1958, 45).
ⓘ Kintoreite
Formula: PbFe3(PO4)(PO3OH)(OH)6
ⓘ Lepidocrocite
Formula: Fe3+O(OH)
ⓘ 'Limonite'
ⓘ 'Manganese Oxides'
ⓘ Manganite
Formula: Mn3+O(OH)
ⓘ Mimetite
Formula: Pb5(AsO4)3Cl
Description: Cooper & Stanley (1990): "From the old workings at the head of the gill, as an almost phosphate-free variety in small crystals with pharmacosiderite etc. (R.S.W. Braithwaite pers. comm., det. University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology (UMIST): IR)."
ⓘ Orthoclase
Formula: K(AlSi3O8)
ⓘ Pharmacosiderite
Formula: KFe3+4(AsO4)3(OH)4 · 6-7H2O
Colour: green to brown
