Arthurite

Sir Arthur Russell first discovered this green mineral at a mine in Calstock in Cornwall. In 1964 Richard J. Davis and Max Hutchinson Hey named the mineral arthurite in honour of Russell and fellow mineralogist and collector Arthur Kingsbury.

Bryan Cooper donated this specimen in 1975 but we do not know where he found it.
