Opencast mica workings. No. 1 Working. West end of lower bench showing workmen excavating mica books. The photograph illustrates the small scale of the workings. Due to its high value in proportion to its weight and a value based on quality rather than quantity and its fragility, the mineral is mined with extreme care. The workmen can be seen wielding picks, shovels and crowbars. Deposits tend to be small and irregular and the mica is unevenly distributed throughout the deposit. No estimates of reserves can be made beyond the amounts actually in sight from day to day. P000159.}}<br /> |date=2017-08-02 18:58:57<br /> |source=British Geological Survey<br /> |author=British Geological Survey<br /> |permission=<br /> |other versions=<br /> }}<br /> <br /> =={{int:license-header}}==<br /> {{subst:Custom license marker added by UW}}<br /> {{BGS}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Uploaded with UploadWizard]]</div>
