EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable geological specimen found in Ashover, Derbyshire, England. The image features an exquisite combination of minerals including grey galena, brown sphalerite, black bitumen, and colourless fluorite. Renowned collector Philip Rashleigh eloquently described this mineral composition in his catalogue as "306 Lead Ore with semitransparent brown Blend and globules of Black Mineral Pitch in all the cavities with Fluor near Ashover". Galena takes center stage as the primary ore mineral of lead, while sphalerite adds a touch of earthy elegance with its rich brown hue. Bitumen brings depth to the composition with its striking black presence resembling pitch or asphaltum. Lastly, the delicate fluorite crystals add a touch of ethereal beauty to this already mesmerizing ensemble. The photograph not only captures these stunning minerals but also pays homage to the mining heritage prevalent in England's Midlands region. This unique piece from the Rashleigh Collection serves as a testament to both nature's artistry and mankind's fascination with extracting valuable resources from deep within our planet
