Cassiterite
Great Work Mine, Breage, Cornwall, England, UK.
largest crystal 6mm.
This Cornish cassiterite was once in the Freiberg mining Academy in Saxony, Germany (its label dates it there to between 1880-1905). From Freiberg it made its way to Chile’s national Museum, the Museo de Santiago.
Rescued by Skip Szenics in the late 1900s, he brought it back to New York in the USA. In 2002, he brought it down to Tucson, from whence I repatriated it back to the UK.
This is a well-travelled tin!
Located only as Cornwall on the Freiberg label, this specimen has been compared to others in the Natural History Museum Collection in London. Its matrix and composition matches those in the Russell Collection from Great Work Mine in Breage. (Author: ian jones)

Copper
Botallack Mine, St Just, Cornwall,England, UK
3x2"
Ex Col Williams - Burncoose Assay Office Collection. Williams collection number 112. Although attributed to "probably Wh Basset" by Williams, the specimen came from the Bolitho collection (the Bolithos were a well known Penzance mining family and operated the largest tin smelting house in Cornwall during the 19th century and until 1912), so the specimen is much more likely to be from one of the St. Just mines.
Specifically, the specimen is like other wire coppers from Botallack Mine and thus possibly dates to c1804 when other specimens of this type were collected. (Author: ian jones)

Copper
Chimney Rock quarry, Bound Brook, New Jersey, USA
8.5X6.8 cm
The Chimney Rock quarry was on the site of an old copper mine. A copper chunk around 90 lbs. jammed the crusher during the quarrying operation. I believe it is still in the Rutgers collection. During my collecting there, I found mainly calcites, analcimes, traces of copper minerals and a prehnite or two. (Author: John Medici)
