Description
A great combination of well crystallised Hydrocerussite and clear, glassy Datolite crystals from Torr Works quarry at Cranmore in Somerset, England. An almost circular, creamy white Hydrocerussite crystal nestles in a small cavity in a matrix of black manganese oxides rich in massive Hydrocerussite and more granular Datolite. This dominant Hydrocerussite crystal is about 1 cm diameter and 3 mm wide. Although 3 mm sounds little , in reality this looks quite thick and chunky! Surrounding this is a rich jumble of lustrous and glassy Datolite crystals, of up to about 5 mm and really quite impressive. Datolite is a species seldom encountered in Torr Works collections. I'll just point out that amongst mineral collectors, this quarry is commonly referred to as Merehead quarry, but Torr Works is its actual name. The quarry is massive and still operational, but the zones of rare mineralisation mineralised have now been moved away from!

How this data is collected: Our system continuously monitors mineral listings from authorized dealer partners across the internet. We have explicit permission from all dealers whose listings we track - any dealers who have not provided specific and explicit authorization are NOT listed and NOT tracked by our system. When a previously available listing is marked as sold or removed from sale, we record this as a completed transaction. While we cannot guarantee the exact final sale price (as negotiations may occur), this data represents publicly listed prices for specimens that have transitioned from "for sale" to "sold" status. This provides valuable market insights based on observable listing behavior patterns.
