GEOLOGY, BY DR. BOASE.
Gwenap has long been one of the most important mining districts of Cornwall. Its western part rests on the same
patch of granite as the eastern part of Cornborne, the one stretching to the east and the other to the west. The slate is also similar to that of Cornborne, and like that it is traversed by numerous beds of porphyry, some of which, in the vicinity of Burncoose, are of the most beautiful description, containing well-defined crystals of felspar and of quartz.
