Locality: Eas a Bradain, Luib, Isle of Skye, North West Highlands (Inverness-shire), Scotland, UK
Although the dark orange-brown prismatic crystal is unconfirmed, I am fairly confident that it is synchysite. Associated with zircon, and altered chlorite on the termination of the synchysite crystal. Collected 2001.
