De Lank Quarries, Granite quarry in Cornwall, England.
De Lank Quarries spans 54 acres of geological formations, producing high-quality biotite granite used in construction and masonry across the United Kingdom.
The quarry supplied granite for the construction of the fourth Eddystone Lighthouse in 1882, the Royal Opera House in London, and multiple historic bridges.
The granite processing at De Lank maintains traditional stone masonry techniques, contributing to the preservation of this specialized craft in Cornwall.
The site operates as both an active quarry supplying construction materials and a protected scientific area requiring specific permits for research visits.
Located at the geological boundary between igneous rocks and slate formations, the quarry features a rare combination of biotite-bearing granites and aplogranite intrusions.
