© The Trustees of the Natural History Museum, London The new mineral has been named kernowite, after the Cornish word for CornwallKnown from just a single location, a new species of mineral has been described from the UK. A sample of rock that was collected from a mine in Cornwall some 220 years ago has turned out to be an entirely new species of mineral. While most new minerals are so small that their colour isn t easy to appreciate, this latest addition forms large emerald-green crystals. Mike Rumsey is the Principal Curator of Minerals at the Museum and is the one who initiated the investigation and subsequently discovered the new mineral with colleagues at the NHM and collaborators from Slovakia and the Diamond Lightsource in Harwell, Oxford.
