General Notes

Colourless octahedral crystals of senarmontite, associated with minute colourless acicular crystals of hydroxylpyromorphite, pale yellow feinglosite and mimetite have been described by Joy Désor (https://www.mindat.org/photo-1132041.html; accessed October 2022). The paragenesis is indicative of a second oxidation zone origin.
