Cornish Mineral Collection
Treasures from the Mines
Beneath Cornwall's rugged landscapes lies a remarkable geological history, shaped by millions of years of mineral formation and centuries of mining heritage.
Our Cornish Mineral Collection brings together a carefully curated selection of natural mineral specimens from Cornwall's historic mining districts, each with its own character, geological features and connection to the region's past.
Discover beautiful fluorite formations from Wheal Mary Ann in Menheniot, with striking blue-grey, violet and pale green crystals, intricate growth patterns and the rich iron staining that makes these specimens so distinctive.
From delicate crystalline formations to substantial collector's pieces, every specimen offers a glimpse into the extraordinary geology hidden beneath Cornwall's surface.
These are more than beautiful minerals. They are tangible pieces of Britain's geological and industrial heritage, preserved for collectors, enthusiasts and anyone fascinated by the natural world.
A little piece of Cornwall's history, waiting to be discovered.
Each specimen is individually photographed, with its measurements, weight and reported locality provided wherever available. You will receive the exact specimen pictured.
