Andrewsite
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Andrewsite is a now discredited mineral originally reported at the Wheal Phoenix mine, near Liskeard in Cornwall. It was named for Thomas Andrews FRS, the English chemist.[1]
It has been shown to be a mixture of hentschelite and rockbridgeite, with minor chalcosiderite.[1]
