Smallcleugh Mine, Nenthead, Alston Moor, Eden, Cumbria, England, UK

| Comments: | Specimens of hydrozincite from this mine should be tested to confirm that they are not brianyoungite. Some of the brianyoungite crystals associated with a small nickel rich area in the mine are tinted pale light green, possibly due to a very small amount of Ni in the chemical structure. It only takes a very very small amount of Ni to give some minerals the green colouration. | |
