The Geology and Mineralogy of Judkins Quarry Warwickshire Frank Ince Roy E. Starkey Jim Wooldridge In addition to the rare British species mottramite and vanadinite, Judkins Quarry also yields some interesting and extraordinary forms of lead and copper sulphides. Chalcopyrite: tarnished replacements of acicular chalcopyrite to 10 mm. Roy Starkey specimen. Photo: Mick Cooper. The Minerals of Milltown Quarry, Ashover Derbyshire Steven A. Rust Milltown Quarry is the type locality for sweetite and ashoverite - two of the four known naturally occurring polymorphs of zinc hydroxide, all four of which occur here. Litharge pseudomorphs to 1.5 mm.

Chalcomenite: Ballybunnion, Co. Kerry. Largest spray is ca. 0.5 mm across. Collected by R. Barstow. George Ryeback specimen.

Bayley Hendre quarry was first visited by the authors in 1984 in search of pectolite and apophyllite, following a lead from a museum specimen. This search was unsuccessful, but instead yielded and interesting suite of minerals including anatase, apatite, brookite, rutile, monazite-(Ce) and xenotime-(Y). Anatase: sceptre crystal 1.5 mm long.
