Extract

During an investigation of the mineralization of the Leadhills- Wanlockhead lead and zinc mining district, rammelsbergite (NiAs2) was identified as an associate of niceolite (NiAs), reputed to have come from no. 4 level on the west branch of the New Glencrieff vein. The identification was confirmed on further material collected from the dumps at the Glenerieff mine, Wanlockhead, Dumfriesshire, and on specimens from the Scottish Mineral Collection (nos. 1952.5.18; 20; 21).
