These specimens come from the William Serjeant collection circa 1880.The bottom specimen looks to have originated form the Southern granite mass and is from Goss Moor. The remaining two from Tregoss Moor are more likely to have come from the North.

East Pool mine became part of South Crofty it was the richest part of the set for Wolfram. This specimen of rich bladed Wolfram with Pyrite in Quartz is typical for the mine.
Pale Amethyst from Dorothy CCP St Austell
A large and very heavy 6.5kg block of solid Galena. How the miners missed this is a mystery? The only reason I can put forward is they were fooled by a thin deposit of pyrite on the surface and it was discarded as pyrite.
A large plate of Smoky Quartz crystals, the crystals are darker than the photo would suggest. In the 1970’s and 80’s these large plates along with large single crystals were a common find.
