This locality was a land-fill site. The occurrence of Vivianite, found in the mid 1990s has long since been filled-over and landscaped, and it may be 15-20 years before they open another pit in the same area where the Vivianite was found.
The Locality produced some of the best Vivianite found in the mainland UK for many years.

| ⓘ Vivianite Formula: Fe2+Fe2+2(PO4)2 · 8H2O Description: Found as clusters of crystals to 2cm lining cavities in stone nodules in the clay. Bright translucent blue-green when first found, they soon oxidise and darken. Almost certainly the best UK mainland source of Vivianite in recent years. References: |
