Manganese Fever! | |
|
Torr Works Quarry (Merehead Quarry), Cranmore, Somerset, England, UK The Russell Society digging out manganese pods from the quarry floor during a field trip in June 2005. These pods yielded some mereheadite and mimetite, plus carbonates. Notice that collecting here is kinda dirty work - manganese oxide dust is both staining and pervasive. |

My truck in the background gives some idea of scale. These pods contained the oxychloride minerals mereheadite and symesite, along with fornacite, mimetite, and a range of carbonate minerals. |
