Description
Rare, deep olive-green bladed crystals of Chloroxiphite are exposed obliquely across columnar pink white Mendipite. Also in association are patches of blue Diaboleite and yellow Paralaurionite. This rich specimen with several areas of these rare oxychloride species is from the famous Torr Works quarry at Cranmore in Somerset, England. Mineral collectors often refer to this locality as Merehead quarry; the two being synonymous but Torr Works quarry is the official name. The quarry is still worked for limestone by Aggregate Industries but the zone in which the manganese pods containing the exotic suite of oxychloride minerals is long since worked out.

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.
