Note on the occurrence of beryl and löllingite at the New Consols mine, Stoke Climsland, Cornwall
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 March 2018
Extract
Specimens of the minerals beryl and löllingite were found by me among material collected in the summer of 1950 and the spring of 1951 for work on the distribution of trace elements in the New Consols mine, Stoke Climsland, Cornwall. Unfortunately, I was unable to collect further material, and in the case of the 1ö11ingite its presence on a specimen was recognized only after the mine had been abandoned and become flooded. This locality for the two minerals seems worthy of record in view of the small number of reported occurrences in Cornwall.
The beryl was found in specimens from a pegmatite vein, approximately 2 feet thick and dipping steeply southwards towards the main granite boss of Kit Hill, which was intersected 222 yards from the engine shaft by a south cross-cut at the 52-fathom level.
