The geology of Cornwall is very interesting – different and distinctive. Cornwall is full of stones. In the past stone was important to Cornwall's economy – there was a lot of mining and working in many slate, elvan and granite quarries. (There are fewer of them now). The type of stone found under the ground is reflected in the constructions above. Valuable tin ore, etc. and beautiful mineral specimens were taken away (visit the museum in Truro), but the remainder was used to build houses and hedges. Some building stone came from quarries, but some was picked up from fields. Skill is needed to make a hedge. There are different styles as well as different stones in different regions of Cornwall. Some granite was cut to measure.
