Very different to the famous capped Quartz's of Virtuous Lady mine, this remarkable little set is far rarer too. Ex Malcolm Southwood Collection (no. MS 2015.011) and prior to that ex Nick Carruth Collection, this fascinating specimen has another older note with it, which records, "one set of two from a clay filled pocket : collected by Dick Jenkins of St Clements, Truro :: other set to S [Shirley] Adrian Coll.". Specifically documented as from "Moor lode, 8 Sub level, Wheal Jane", this fun miniature specimen is rare indeed. The internal, individual, short prismatic pyramidally terminated Quartz crystal is in great shape and reaches 1.6 cm tall. The cap, which is much wider, is very thin but also in great condition and sounds like bone china when tapped. An exquisite Cornish miniature.
