General Notes

Keller and Innes (1986) reported a discovery of eight-sided or square-tabular crystals of beige-coloured nadorite (to c. 0.5 mm), associated with "… a beudantite group mineral" and chalcocite. According to Gebhard (1999) this find was made on 32 Level in the second oxidation zone, but this is not clear from the Keller and Innes (1986) paper.
