Malachite and Goethite from Torr Works Quarry, Somerset

Malachite and Goethite from Torr Works Quarry, Cranmore, Mendip, Somerset, England, UK

Nice little micro specimen of malachite and goethite from Torr Works Quarry, Somerset.

This site is often known amongst collectors as Merehead Quarry, and is labelled as such.

• #1 - The specimen is mounted with glue into the box. Ex. Roger Harker, S. D. P. H. collections. There would have originally been a larger label on the back with more info and the Harker collection name, but this has been lost - as a result there are no labels bearing the Harker name; provenance is known by dozens of specimens from the same lot and the same labelling style.

Magnification will be essential for this specimen; the area of mineralisation is just a millimeter or two!
