Abstract: Paralaurionite from a new locality, the Mammoth mine, Arizona, is described. X-ray study and chemical analysis confirm the original characteristics of the mineral as described in 1899 by G. F. Herbert Smith. Measurements are given which establish new forms on crystals from Arizona and also on crystals from a South American locality. A complete angle table for twenty-eight forms is presented.
