A sample of this material, examined shortly after collection, was shown to be zeunerite, with n 1.608±0.001 and giving X-ray powder-pattern spacings almost identical with those for synthetic hydrous zeunerite given by Weiss-Frondel, J. in Amer. Min., 1951, vol. 36, p. 252 Google Scholar, and distinct from those of meta-zeuncrite with 5-8 H2O.
