Small quarry which is difficult to find. We enquired at a house which we thought was nearby, and the chap insisted on getting in his car and taking us the remaining half mile or so personally! We later returned to show him some of the Wavellite we'd found ("So why would you want to come all this way to be looking for some o' dat?").

| ⓘ Quartz Formula: SiO2 Habit: Massive Colour: White, often iron-stained oranged Description: Massive material, found as vein constituents (which usually host wavellite). References: |
| ⓘ Variscite ? Formula: AlPO4 · 2H2O |
| ✪ Wavellite Formula: Al3(PO4)2(OH)3 · 5H2O Habit: Radiating crystals and perfect spheres up to 1.6cm Colour: White, blue/green, pink Description: Spheres of wavellite are extremely rare but can be very fine when they do occur. Rosettes on fracture surfaces are common, but confined to one narrow horizon. |
