Plumbogummite from
Red Gill Mine, Roughton Gill, Caldbeck, Allerdale, Cumbria, England, UK


Locality type:Mine
Classification
Species:Plumbogummite
Formula:PbAl3(PO4)(PO3OH)(OH)6
Comments:Van Den Berg (1985) based the ID only on visual identification.
Cooper and Stanley (1990) express the opinion that it is probably 'chrysocolla' but the small amount of material precludes definite characterization.
Bridges et al. (2008) did not find it in their study.
