Introduction: zinkenite occurs with stibnite, galena and various lead-antimony sulphosalts in complex hydrothermal vein and breccia assemblages typical of the epithermal Pb-Sb association.

Occurrence in Wales: the only record of zinkenite from Wales is that which resulted from investigations of the antimony mineralization at Bwlch Mine near Deganwy on the North Wales coast (Bevins et al., 1988). As with many of the Pb-Sb sulphosalts, it is difficult to identify positively in hand specimen and consequently, verification often requires detailed analytical techniques.
