MINERALS INDEX
Greenockite |
| CdS |
| Hexagonal |
Greenockite is not found in crystals but only as a lemon-yellow powdery incrustation on limestone containing franklinite and fibrous green willemite. From the very small amount of material available for a test a distinct coating on charcoal was obtained indicative of cadmium; nevertheless the determination of the mineral is unsatisfactory.
Greenockite is known only on specimens from Hamburg mine, an early and long-abandoned opening on the northernmost outcrop of the western leg of the ore body at Franklin.
