D18759LABEL: No.682 Iodembolite changing into native silver, Proprietary, Broken Hill.LABEL: Iodembolite and native As (sic), Broken Hill.COMMENTS: On the first label, the word "bromyrite" is crossed out and replaced by the word "iodembolite."Sample consists of massive green halide altering to native silver, accompanied by some soft orange clay.D35986LABEL: Embolite on matrix, Broken Hill, NSW.Comment: Ferruginous, manganiferous gossan cementing quartz chips and fragments coated by purple-brownhalide, then by later greenish halide in worm-like masses. Both halides were analysed but could not bedistinguished.DI0481LABEL: Cerargyrite on kaolin, Broken Hill, NSW.COMMENTS: Green halide masses and veinlets in massIve kaolinite.D34811LABEL: Embolite, Broken Hill, NSW.COMMENTS: Yellowish halide with minor iron oxyhydroxides with later bright yellow dusting of secondgeneration halide. The latter is iodargyrite, by analysis.D23904LABEL: Iodembolite, Broken Hill, NSW.COMMENTS: Waxy, yellow-green halide globules to 2 mm on porous, hematite gossan.D24260LABEL: Iodargyrite, Broken Hill, NSW.COMMENTS: Waxy, yellow-green, massive halide.D25918LABEL: Iodembolite with cerussite, Proprietary Mine, Broken Hill, NSW.COMMENTS: Halides altered by light exposure to black masses on massive cerussite associated with orangeiron oxyhydroxides. Cerussite inclusions were detected in the prepared samples.D28196LABEL: Iodembolite, Proprietary Mine, Broken Hill, NSW.COMMENTS: Well-crystallised yellow-green halides associated with minor iron oxyhydroxides; crystals ofbromian chlorargyrites to 2 mm.D29303LABEL: Iodembolite in kaolin, Block 11, Proprietary Mine, Broken Hill, NSW.COMMENTS: Massive white kaolinite matrix bearing small red garnet crystals is impregnated with greenhalide masses and veinlets; this material was analysed. An open vugh in the specimen contained large (to 5mm) halide crystals, some of which were coated with a second generation of bright yellow powdery halide.D29383LABEL: Iodembolite, Broken Hill, NSW.COMMENTS: Stalactitic coronadite with later purple halide crystals to 4 mm. X-ray map showed bright patchof AgI and another of a Pb-rich phase.D20648LABEL: Iodembolite with smithsonite, Broken Hill, NSW.COMMENTS: Minor coronadite with clays and iron oxides accompany the bulk of the specimen whichconsists of an intergrowth of "teardrop" and crystallised smithsonite, cerussite (minor) and yellow-greenhalide; the smithsonite was last to crystallise.D25951LABEL: Iodembolite with iodyrite, Proprietary Mine, Broken Hill, NSW.COMMENTS: Bright yellow crystalline masses of halide coated by later greenish-yellow to brown colloformhalide. Analyses do not distinguish between the different coloured phases; the specimen is dusted by lateriron oxyhydroxides.D26980LABEL: Iodembolite, Broken Hill, NSW.Comment: Specimen consists of aggregates of cerussite crystals and some massive cerussite cemented bylater yellow-green halide in crystals to 3 mm. X-ray map shows cerussite inclusions in halide.D28194LABEL: Iodembolite, Proprietary Mine, Broken Hill, NSW.COMMENTS: Ferruginous gossan coated with purple-grey material and waxy, green halide masses.D30448LABEL: Iodembolite on matrix, Broken Hill, NSW.COMMENTS: Matrix is rotten, oxidised garnet sandstone containing quartz fragments and siliceous iron-richgossan bearing yellow crystals of halide on more open, vughy areas and yellow-green masses in cavities;some filiform masses to I cm coat the specimen.D31586LABEL: Iodembolite, Broken Hill, NSW.COMMENTS: Slug of halide varying in colour from green to yellow and then to purple-brown.D29370LABEL: Embolite, Broken Hill, NSW.COMMENTS: Matrix is a fine-grained, cerussite-rich, banded material after garnet sandstone coated andimpregnated by greenish brown, arborescent masses of halide.D30466LABEL: Embolite on kaolin, Broken Hill, NSW.COMMENTS: Specimen consists of masses of waxy, green halide crystals to 7 mm impregnating a mass ofkaolinite bearing minor Mn oxides.D30481LABEL: Embolite in kaolin, Broken Hill, NSW.COMMENTS: Dense, Grey, banded halide associated with mmor Fe-stained clay.D30360LABEL: Embolite, Broken Hill, NSW.COMMENTS: Specimen consists of a massive and reticulated crystalline cerussite nodule bearing yellow-greenhalide crystals in cavities; minor limonite coatings invest parts of the specimen.D31665LABEL: Embolite with cerussite and malachite, Broken Hill, NSW.COMMENTS: Massive cerussite is coated by later purple-grey halide crystals to 2 mm; malachite crystalplates are scattered across both phases.D36399LABEL: Embolite, Broken Hill, NSW.COMMENTS: Matrix of coronadite gossan is coated with yellow-green halide crystals and separate, brightyellow halide masses; both halide phases were analysed separately.D35996LABEL: Embolite in kaolin, Broken Hill, NSW.COMMENTS: Veinlets of green halide invest massive kaolinite.D33111LABEL: Broken Hill, NSW.COMMENTS: Unidentified green copper mineral coats mass of green halides bearing later native copper; base of specimen bears a bright, apple-green species and minor iron oxyhydroxides.D32138LABEL: Embolitedendroids, Proprietary Block 14 Mine, Broken hill, NSW (Presented Block 14 Ltd).COMMENTS: Green dendroidal sheet of halide dusted with powdery blue copper mineral (unidentified).D29066LABEL: Embolite with iodyrite in kaolin, Broken Hill, NSW.COMMENTS: Massive, yellow-green halide.D34495LABEL: Embolite, colloform arborescent masses, Broken Hill, NSW.COMMENTS: Yellow to greenish brown colloform masses of halide associated with minor clays.D46338LABEL: Bromyrite, Broken Hill, NSW.COMMENTS: Aggregates of yellow to bright yellow halide crystals to 3 mm on orange ferruginous gossan.D26168LABEL: Cerargyrite in kaolin with malachite, Broken Hill, NSW.COMMENTS: Green halide masses in kaolinite with red garnets; later dusting of malachite.D28184LABEL: Cerargyrite, Consols Mine, Broken Hill, NSW.COMMENTS: Slug of purple-grey halide with minor quartz inclusions; some halide is crystalline.D28185LABEL: Cerargyrite with bromyrite and silver-chloro-antimoniat (sic) in limonite, Consols Mine, Broken Hill,NSW.COMMENTS: Matrix is a ferruginous gossan bearing some compact hematite masses one side of the specimenbears bright yellow halide crystals; the other (analysed) was coated with yellowish green halide crystals to1.5 mm.
