Introduction: robinsonite is occasionally found with stibnite, galena and various lead-antimony sulphosalts in complex hydrothermal vein and breccia assemblages typical of the epithermal Pb-Sb association. As with many of the Pb-Sb sulphosalts, robinsonite is almost always impossible to identify in hand specimen and even in polished section these minerals can be remarkably difficult to distinguish. Consequently, verification requires detailed analytical techniques in the majority of occurrences.

Occurrence in Wales: the only record of robinsonite from Wales is that which resulted from detailed investigations of the antimony mineralization at Bwlch Mine near Deganwy on the North Wales coast (Bevins et al., 1988).
