Introduction: descloizite is a secondary mineral which occurs typically in the oxidized zones of base-metal ore deposits. Associated minerals may include vanadinite, mottramite and wulfenite plus a range of commoner Cu-Pb-Zn secondary minerals.

Occurrence in Wales: the only record of descloizite from Wales is that from Esgair Hir Mine (S.A. Rust Collection), where it occurs as part of a complex, fine-grained intergrowth, to the extent that it was only detected through X-ray diffraction analysis.
