References:

ⓘ Chevkinite-(Ce)

Formula: Ce₄(Ti,Fe²⁺,Fe³⁺)₅O₈(Si₂O₇)₂

Habit: prismatic to acicular, up to 0.2mm

Colour: Red-brown (pleochroic) in thin section; appears black and near-opaque in hand specimens

Description: First British occurrence for this species. Mostly observed in thin sections. Can be seen with x10 loupe in hand specimens, but easily mistaken for amphibole or edge-views of dark mica (although the latter is almost absent in most of the chevkinite-bearing rocks of St Kilda). Red haloes are commonly seen around specimens in the Conachair granite.

Habit: octaheda & massive (rock-forming)

Colour: black

Description: Magnetite is abundant as a rock-forming component in the basic rocks of St Kilda, and is also common as sharply euhedral lustrous octahedra in vugs in the Conachair Granite.

Geochronology

Mineralization age: Paleocene : 60 ± 10 Ma to 57 ± 3 Ma

Important note: This table is based only on rock and mineral ages recorded on mindat.org for this locality and is not necessarily a complete representation of the geochronology, but does give an indication of possible mineralization events relevant to this locality. As more age information is added this table may expand in the future. A break in the table simply indicates a lack of data entered here, not necessarily a break in the geologic sequence. Grey background entries are from different, related, localities.
