Queitite is a lead zinc silicate sulphate that was named after the mineral dealer Clive S. Queit, who collected the first specimens.

This queitite variant was originally reported from the Lucky Cuss Mine, Arizona, USA.

However, there was one occurrence in Wales, of a single specimen displaying microscopic crystal sprays.

[2] In its type locality, it is associated with quartz, galena, sphalerite, melanotektite, willemite, leadhillite, alamosite, larsenite and tennantite.

In the Red Gill mine, it appears with quartz, leadhillite, cerussite, caledonite and susannite.
