Note on the mineral list:

The references to adamite, brochantite, hydrocerussite, phosgenite, and rosasite at Sandbed are all Kingsbury citations. Given the doubts about the provenance of other Kingsbury specimens (Ryback et al. 1998, 2001), the occurrence of these species at Sandbed is likely to be fraudulent.

Hydrozincite
Formula: Zn5(CO3)2(OH)6
Habit: crystalline crusts
Colour: pale blue
Jarosite
Formula: KFe3+3(SO4)2(OH)6
Description: Green et al. (2006): "Jarosite was identified by EDS at Sandbed mine in thin fractures in pyrite-rich quartz matrix as pale yellow-brown earthy crusts made up of crystals up to a few microns across. Similar material has been collected from the dumps of Driggith mine. Jarosite is restricted to fractures in the matrix, where it is exposed to the atmosphere it alters to goethite. According to Hartley (1984), jarosite was found at the outcrop workings between the Driggith and Sandbed mines. The basis for this record appears to be specimen K53/174, which was part of a larger specimen that was sent in three pieces (K531173-175) to Hartley for XRD identification. In Kingsbury's notes made after analysis, it is recorded that "K53/174 - Driggith Outcrop - Close to j" because K531173 came back as "K53/173 - Driggith Outcrop - Maybe Pj" it is assumed, that "j" means jarosite and "Pj" means plumbojarosite. Although it may be genuine, the identification does not appear to have been conclusive and the provenance of the specimen has to be treated with caution."

Geochronology

Mineralization age: Phanerozoic : 272 Ma to 241 Ma

Important 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.
