Stancombe Quarry

Flax Bourton, North Somerset, England, UK

Stancombe quarry is an aggregate quarry near Bristol which exploits carboniferous limestone and occasionally produces some mineral specimens.

Showing the single result

As with all aggregate quarries, it is unlikely the quarry is always digging through mineralised areas. It usually turns out most mineral specimens from the site are found during a single year, or several years.

Mindat lists various minerals from the site, including baryte, calcite, fluorite, galena, and quartz. It is possible there was an exploitable fluorspar or lead ore vein in the area.
