Bournonite from
Nantyrarian Mine (Silver Stream Mine. Blaendyffryn Mine), Goginan, Melindwr, Ceredigion, Wales, UK


Locality type:Mine
Classification
Species:Bournonite
Formula:PbCuSbS3
Comments:I have failed to find any evidence of this mineral at this location and it was the only listed mineral before I updated the entry for this location after visiting in December 2019. However looking at other mines nearby for example Ceunant there is also only 1 mineral listed and that too is Bournonite. I begin to suspect that entries were copied and this mineral has been carried over.
