This print showcases a stunning specimen of Tennantite C016 / 5627, a mineral found in the Relistan mine located in Cornwall, UK. The image captures the essence of this metallic wonder, with its silvery and sparkly crust that glistens against a pristine white background. Tennantite is known for its copper arsenic sulphide composition, which gives it its unique appearance. Over time, parts of this specimen have undergone alteration due to the formation of copper rust, adding an intriguing element to its overall beauty. The photograph was expertly taken in a studio setting by the Natural History Museum in London. It highlights every intricate detail and texture present on this geological marvel. Its presence evokes curiosity about the geological history behind such minerals and their significance within our planet's natural processes. As we admire this remarkable piece from England's rich mineralogical heritage, we are reminded of Europe's diverse geology and how it has shaped our understanding of Earth's formations over centuries. This image serves as a testament to both nature's artistry and mankind's passion for exploring and preserving these wonders through scientific research.
