  1. Pant y Wrach copper mine, North Wales. Natural growths in a man-made tunnel, formed over the last 150 years or so. A nice little mine with lots to see, but access is along a rather damp adit, flooded to knee level, then a short crawl. Not somewhere to visit in your Sunday best. Trying out some underground photo tec...

The siderite ore was originally deposited on the seafloor ~2.75 Ga as the result of seafloor hydrothermal venting in the Archean oceans. The dark outcrop seen here at the lip of the pit is thought to represent the primary vent from whic...
