(2008): "Cooper and Stanley (1990) note that chalcocite and digenite have been reported from Red Gill Mine, but early identifications of chalcocite have to be regarded with suspicion, since only relatively recently has it become possible to distinguish the grey copper sulphides from each other and even then only with some difficulty." | |
