Locality type:Mine
Classification
Species:Mimetite
Formula:Pb5(AsO4)3Cl
Comments:Bridges et al. (2008) "Mimetite was reported from Red Gill Mine by Cooper and Stanley (1990) on the basis of a specimen supplied by Mick Cooper and confirmed by XRD at Leeds University. Since mimetite was found at the neighbouring workings in Silver Gill (Green, et al., 2005a) and at Brae Fell Mine (Bridges et al., 2006) a further detailed search for it was conducted at Red Gill Mine. Twenty-five specimens were examined by EDS but no arsenic was found."
