Abstract

Summary An unusual tennantite, containing 4·64% Pb, has been found on a mineral specimen from Sark's Hope Mine collected in 1843. An electron-probe analysis is given, together with visible spectrum reflectance data, quantitative colour values, VHN, and cell dimensions determined from X-ray powder diffraction photographs.
