EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable specimen of Chalcocite with Quartz, discovered at the Cooks Kitchen Mine in Illogan, Cornwall, England. The image is an accurate representation of this extraordinary mineral as depicted in "Specimens of British Minerals" a renowned publication from 1797. The photograph reveals large plated six-sided crystals of grey copper ore stacked one upon the other, accompanied by small prisms of grey copper ore featuring truncated ends.
