General Notes
Bianchite has been mooted by Joy Désor as the likely identity of a zinc-dominant hexahydrite group mineral associated with lazaridisite, cerussite and pyromorphite, on a matrix of massive sulphide including chalcocite-germanite ore (https://www.mindat.org/photo-1012256.html; accessed April 2020).
Questionable status is retained for bianchite pending appropriate confirmation.
Associated Minerals
