This print showcases the stunning beauty of Galena, a bright metallic grey mineral found in Matlock, Derbyshire, England. The collector Philip Rashleigh once described this particular specimen as "Thorn-Leaf Lead Ore" capturing its unique leaf-like shape. Galena is renowned as the primary ore mineral of lead and holds great significance in the world of geology. The image transports us to the English Midlands, where mining activities have long been intertwined with the region's history. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich heritage of mining in Matlock and serves as a testament to its importance in shaping local communities. The Royal Cornwall Museum has carefully preserved this remarkable piece from their esteemed Rashleigh Collection. Its sulfide composition gives it an alluring glance that reflects light beautifully.
