An account of the minerals found in the Virtuous Lady Mine, near Tavistock
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 March 2018
Extract
Virtuous Lady Mine is situated in the parish of Buckland Monachorum on the right bank of the river Tavy close to its junction with the river Walkham, at a distance of three miles south of Tavistock in Devonshire. The mine has long been famous for the charm of its situation, and in addition possesses for the mineralogist an especial interest owing to the peculiar beauty and unusual character of the mineral specimens it has yielded. The early history of the mine is lost in obscurity, as also is the origin of its curious name, which, however, local tradition ascribes to Queen Elizabeth.
