Mineralization at Seathwaite Tam, near Coniston, English Lake District: The first occurrence of wittichenite in Great Britain
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 05 July 2018
Summary
Ore specimens from the abandoned copper mine at Seathwaite Tarn, Cumbria, were studied in polished section by reflected light microscopy. The mineral paragenesis is described and related to current views on Lake District ore genesis. A common origin with the neighbouring deposit at Coniston is proposed. Wittichenite was identified in the ore, and is the first authenticated occurrence in Great Britain.
