No less than 3 (unlabeled) contenders appeared from their 40-year-old newspaper wrappings for Lot 2124 "Chromate of Lead of remarkable beauty, with Phosphate of Lead and
Vauquelinite, Beresoff" known to have been acquired by the Duke.
Other associated minerals are: cerussite, bindheimite,
vauquelinite, mottramite and pyromorphite.
Species collectors will be happy because there are several dealers in this tent that have quite a few rare minerals, including things like
vauquelinite from Russia, as well as wendwilsonite from Morocco.
This deposit is the type locality for five of the known 22 chromate species (cassedanneite, crocoite, embreyite, phoenicochroite, and
vauquelinite).
(1881) Vanadinite and other vanadates, wulfenite, crocoite,

A veinlet of crystals on blue hemimorphite was once discovered, and pseudomorphs after cerussite have been observed on old-time
vauquelinite specimens.
21, Gerdshagen, Germany 18276) had a staggering array of systematic species available, the majority from their type localities, including belyankinite, betpakdalite, mushistonite, perlialite, rasvumite, shortite, shcherbakovite, srebrodolskite, strontiopyrochlore, tadzhikite-(Ce),
vauquelinite, vitusite-(Ce), and yuksporite.
A closely related mineral is
vauquelinite, with the ideal chemical formula [Pb.sub.2]Cu(Cr[O.sub.4])(P[O.sub.4])(OH), which immediately suggests an analogy with the formulae of fornacite, molybdofornacite, and the Whim Creek mineral.
