EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable specimen of Calcite, specifically the dog-tooth spar variety, found in the Ball Eye Mine located in Cromford, Derbyshire, England. The image is an accurate representation of a drawing featured in the renowned publication "Specimens of British Minerals" curated from Philip Rashleigh's esteemed cabinet collection. The six-sided structure of this Calcite crystal is beautifully displayed and almost entirely enveloped by calamine ore. Interestingly, it is evident that the calcareous earth has undergone decomposition due to its interaction with the calamine ore, as depicted in figure 2 of Plate 20. This particular specimen was sourced from Balls Eye mine at Bonsal within Derbyshire and forms part of the esteemed Rashleigh Collection. The photograph highlights various geological aspects such as carbonates, scalenohedral formations, zinc content (as smithsonite), and calcium carbonate composition. The color palette ranges from pristine white to subtle shades of grey and brown. Captured by Andy Tindle for display at Royal Cornwall Museum, this print offers viewers a glimpse into the fascinating world of mining geology while honoring both historical significance and natural beauty
