Grains Gill is the name of the valley that Grains Gill Beck runs through.

Note on the mineral list: Carpholite and several other species supposedly collected here in the 1950s and 1960s by Arthur Kingsbury (1906-1968) are now considered unlikely. This is one of a number of likely or definitely falsified Kingsbury localities.

Note: Kingsbury and Hartley occasionally refer to the Carrock mine site as "Grainsgill" (Cooper & Stanley, 1990).

Detailed Mineral List:

ⓘ Aikinite ?
Formula: PbCuBiS3
Habit: minute crystals and compact patches in quartz stringers in the greisen.
Description: Kingsbury reference.
ⓘ Alunite ?
Formula: KAl3(SO4)2(OH)6
Description: Kingsbury reference to a ferrian variety. Kingsbury & Hartley (1958): "pale yellowish-buff, fine-grained, earthy, ferriferous."
ⓘ Anatase
Formula: TiO2
ⓘ Ankerite ?
Formula: Ca(Fe2+,Mg)(CO3)2
ⓘ 'Apatite'
Formula: Ca5(PO4)3(Cl/F/OH)
ⓘ Arseniosiderite
Formula: Ca2Fe3+3(AsO4)3O2 · 3H2O
Habit: drusy, slightly botryoidal aggregates of minute scales
Colour: brown
Description: Kingsbury reference. Kingsbury and Hartley (1957): "drusy, slightly botryoidal aggregates of minute, brown, glistening scales coating quartz and arsenopyrite."
ⓘ Arsenopyrite
Formula: FeAsS
ⓘ Beudantite ?
Formula: PbFe3+3(AsO4)(SO4)(OH)6
Colour: brown
Description: Kingsbury reference. Kingsbury and Hartley (1960): brown, powdery aggregates in gossany material from near the intersection of an east-west 'lead-vein' with the north-south Emerson vein of the 'granitic' suite."
ⓘ Bismuthinite
Formula: Bi2S3
Description: Kingsbury reference.
ⓘ Boulangerite
Formula: Pb5Sb4S11

Description: Kingsbury reference. Kingsbury & Hartley (1957): "thin, fibrous-radiating aggregates in joints in white vein-quartz, specimens collected being derived almost certainly from the Emerson vein of the Carrock Wolfram Mine. In contrast to its more usual deep straw- or wax-yellow colour, the Grains Gill mineral is of a pale, almost cream yellow, and until the quartz is broken appears merely as a faint yellowish staining."

Formula: KFe3+3(SO4)2(OH)6
Description: Kingsbury reference. Kingsbury & Hartley (1958): "crusts of very small golden-yellow to brown crystals on white vein-quartz from the 'granitic' suite of veins; it is associated with pale yellowish-buff, fine-grained, earthy ferriferous alunite (B.M. 1956, 76; 1958, 43)."
