New research for Royal Society of Chemistry funded Organised Atoms workshops, using mine waste crystals in electronics. This is a new design we've made for a synthesiser, it's a light controlled oscillator that uses a natural pyrite crystal
New track made with some samples of galena from Wheal Clinton in Flushing, this was a small mine that was only worked for a couple of years. It was closed in 1858 after being flooded and not considered economically viable. Occasional lumps
Got a cheap USB microscope to look at some samples "fossicked" (gathered from mine waste) from Great Wheal Charlotte, closed in 1840, situated on the cliffs near St Agnes (https://www.mindat.org/loc-210320.html). Not sure, but my best guess
What “fossicking” means
WikipediaIn Australia, New Zealand and Cornwall, fossicking is prospecting, especially when carried out as a recreational activity. This can be for gold, precious stones, fossils, etc. by sifting through a prospective area. In Australian English and New Zealand English, the term has an extended use meaning to "rummage". Though the term has been argued to come from Cornish, it likely originates from the Latin fossa, meaning “ditch”, “trench”.
