Squarish, tabular #Cerussite scattered across an orange matrix, surrounded by exposed #Galena with typical right angled breakage planes.
#Fossicked from #MineWaste at Wheal Clinton, Flushing, #Cornwall. Found below the high tide level, beneath the main shaft of an old lead/silver mine (now in a rich person's enormous garden overlooking the sea).
Some of the galena is tarnished blue indicating it has a high silver content (~3% according to historical records).
