| Species: | Beaverite-(Cu) | |
| Formula: | Pb(Fe23+Cu)(SO4)2(OH)6 | |
| Comments: | Kingsbury reference. Kingsbury & Hartley (1957): "first found here in 1949 and subsequently in considerable amounts in the outcrop of an east-west Cu-Pb-As vein on the west side of the gill a short way below its head, as bright canary-yellow powdery aggregates derived from direct alteration of galena and still showing its cubic cleavages (B.M. 1956, 83), also as small, yellow to greenish-yellow powdery masses in cavities in vein quartz originally occupied by sulphides, and as yellow, greenish-yellow, and brownish-yellow drusy, crystalline crusts, derived from alteration of beudantite (itself mainly derived from alteration of carminite, PbFe2(AsO4)2(OH)2), coating cavities and joints both in the vein-material and the wall-rock. The sequence carminite -> beudantite -> beaverite can be well seen on many specimens." | |
| Habit: | powdery aggregates in part pseudomorphous after galena; drusy crystalline crusts | |
| Colour: | bright canary-yellow, yellow to greenish- and brownish-yellow | |
