Stoneycroft Smelter slag locality
Above Derwent, Allerdale, Cumbria, England, UK
Former smelter location, with dumps of slags – primarily from copper and lead smelting.
Showing the single result
Slag minerals are, by their very nature, almost always anthropogenic.
The majority would be classed as microminerals, too – and will broadly speaking, need a high degree of magnification to view well.
The site is now a world heritage site and collecting is unlikely to be allowed.
