Distribution
Very rare. First and second oxidation zones.
Occurrence
- Supergene
- 1st Oxidation Zone
- 2nd Oxidation Zone
Paragenetic and General Notes
Plumbojarosite was initially recognised from the first oxidation zone, occurring in the type assemblage for fleischerite, as yellow-brown crystals intergrown with mimetite.
Plumbojarosite also occurs extremely rarely with the alamosite-melanotekite paragenesis in the second oxidation zone.
