Glendalough and Glendasan (Luganure) mines
County Wicklow, Irlande
Other hydrothermalPb-Zn
- Type
- Galena-sphalerite veins, oxidised near surface
Old vein mines of Wicklow. Collection samples (Natural History Museum, London) pair sphalerite with the concretionary smithsonite that overgrows it: the only cases in the study where smithsonite is lighter than sphalerite. Indicative coordinates.
