General Notes

Hendricksite was identified by XRD on a single specimen (JI 208) in the John Innes Collection. It was described simply as "… pearly white hendricksite" attached to a free-standing V-twin of cerussite on a calcite substrate (E. Nickel, c. 1993, Catalogue of the John Innes Collection; unpublished). XRD analysis # B10394 was conducted at the CSIRO in Perth, Western Australia.

Questionable status is retained pending confirmation.
