EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable geological specimen found in the heart of Cornwall, England. The image captures an earthy, orange-coated quartz mass adorned with exquisite towers and clusters of emerald to bottle green square plates known as torbernite. Each crystal of torbernite is flawlessly shaped into perfect squares, measuring up to 5mm across. Torbernite, a radioactive secondary mineral, is commonly discovered in the oxidized zones of uraniferous copper deposits. Its presence adds a unique allure to this already fascinating piece. This particular find originates from Wheal Basset in Illogan, Cornwall – an area renowned for its rich mining history. The photograph was expertly captured by Andy Tindle and now resides within the esteemed Royal Cornwall Museum's collection. It beautifully encapsulates the intricate beauty and scientific significance that can be found within our planet's geological wonders. As we gaze upon this stunning image, we are transported to the depths of Carnkie and Carn Brea Mines where miners once tirelessly extracted these precious minerals from beneath the surface. The white tetragonal formations juxtaposed against the vibrant hues create a visual spectacle that ignites curiosity about Earth's natural processes. Let us marvel at this extraordinary snapshot which not only celebrates nature's artistry but also serves as a testament to mankind's relentless pursuit of knowledge through geology and mineralogy exploration.
