Parahopeite from
Roughton Gill Mine, Roughton Gill, Caldbeck, Allerdale, Cumbria, England, UK


Locality type:Mine
Classification
Species:Parahopeite
Formula:Zn3(PO4)2 · 4H2O
Comments:Bridges et al. (2011): "Hartley (1984) noted the presence of parahopeite on a specimen Kingsbury claimed to have collected from the 60-fathom dumps. The specimen could not be found in the NHM and no other collector has found the mineral in the Caldbeck Fells. It has to be considered fraudulent."
