EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable specimen of Anglesite, discovered in the picturesque region of Matlock, Derbyshire, England. The tapering and colorless crystals of anglesite gracefully rest upon galena, creating a stunning contrast. Handwritten by the esteemed collector Philip Rashleigh himself, the specimen label provides valuable insights into this geological marvel. Rashleigh's notes describe this extraordinary find as common lead ore adorned with flat columnar crystals of white lead ore on either side. These crystals are meticulously divided into planes and culminate in an exquisite spear-shaped point. In his own words, Rashleigh declares it to be the most flawless white crystallized ÛÜè (the alchemy symbol for lead) he has ever laid eyes upon. The origins of this magnificent piece lie just a few miles away from Matlock, adding to its allure and local significance. Anglesite is renowned as one of the most prevalent secondary lead minerals found in nature. Displayed proudly within the prestigious Rashleigh Collection at Royal Cornwall Museum, this photograph immortalizes not only the beauty but also the scientific importance of this geological wonder. With its grey metallic hue and association with mining activities in England's Midlands region, it serves as a testament to our rich mineral heritage
