This miniature Clinoclase as-good-as self-announces itself to be from Wheal Gorland, with its characteristic iron-stained Quartz gossan matrix finely topped with a lovely 2 x 1 cm cluster of deep vivid greenish blue Clinoclase crystals with a brilliant glassy lustre. Wheal Gorland, situated in the parish of Gwennap to the east of Redruth, has produced some of Cornwall's best mineral specimens and is type locality to Clinoclase, a hydrous copper arsenate. A rich and good representative example.
