Driggeth Mine
Cooper & Stanley (1991):
"This mine is little known to mineral collectors outside the United Kingdom but has produced some interesting and characteristic pyromorphite-mimetite as well as a suite of unusual rarities. It exploits a continuation of the Roughton Gill (South) lode from levels in the Driggith valley and from lower levels over the fell at Sandbeds.
Ore minerals in the Driggith-Sandbeds vein were predominantly galena, sphalerite, and chalcopyrite in a gangue of quartz and barite (Stanley and Vaughan, 1981). The intimate association of galena, sphalerite, and barite, especially in the deeper levels of the mine, caused insurmountable problems for the gravity separators used for ore-dressing in the Victorian workings and was a major cause of the failure of the mine.
The earliest records of mining at Driggith are in documents from the early 18th century but information is scanty until the turn of the 19th century. The mine was profitably worked in the first decades of the century but thereafter, despite brief profitability in the 1850's, the mine was worked at a loss by successive operators, most of whom ended up bankrupt. The mine was effectively finished by 1874. Several attempts to rework it in this century for lead or barite were defeated by the dilapidated state of the workings or the problems of ore separation. The last operation was in 1948. Production statistics are incomplete but the mine produced at least 3800 tons of lead and 40,000 ounces of silver. Small amounts of copper, zinc, and barite were also raised."
Notes on the mineral list:
1) "Plancheite" and other species supposedly collected here by Arthur W.G. Kingsbury (1906-68) are now considered "very doubtful" (the plancheite probably came from Zellerfeld, Germany). This is one of a number of likely or definitely falsified Kingsbury localities.
2) Bridges et al. (2008) referring to p. 35 in Green et al. (2006): "In a study of the mineralisation at the Driggith and Sandbed mines a poorly characterised lead-copper sulphate from Driggith Mine was described. Identical material, comprising radiating sprays of pale blue acicular to feathery crystals up to 0.1 mm in length, occurs with elyite from the top level at Red Gill Mine. It is worthwhile pointing out that although the mineral is described as a sulphate, it could be a sulphite or even possibly a thiosulphate."
3) All pyromorphite specimens labelled as coming from the Driggith mine "are actually from the 'Driggith open-cut', which is situated on the top of the fell between the Driggith and Sandbed Mines." - see https://www.mindat.org/mesg-644554.html

Kingsbury and Hartley (1957): "in some massive, intergrown chalcopyrite and blende, derived from the 30-fathom level, serpierite occurs in narrow veinlets or coating surfaces of joints; it forms aggregates of tiny, pale blue, lath-like crystals, with a pearly lustre, and at first sight could be confused with aurichalcite. Its identity was confirmed by powder photographs which exactly match that of authenticated serpierite from Laurium. On some of the specimens from Driggith mine, the serpierite is intimately associated with another pale-blue, pearly mineral, in minute hexagonal plates, which gives an entirely different but well-defined powder-pattern but has so far remained unidentified." |

Geochronology
Mineralization age: Triassic : 239 Ma to 236 MaImportant note: This table is based only on rock and mineral ages recorded on mindat.org for this locality and is not necessarily a complete representation of the geochronology, but does give an indication of possible mineralization events relevant to this locality. As more age information is added this table may expand in the future. A break in the table simply indicates a lack of data entered here, not necessarily a break in the geologic sequence. Grey background entries are from different, related, localities.
