Small cove on east side of the Ness. Access by a steep scramble down a gully. Do not attempt when wet, or without company. A visit in 2011 failed to locate the fluorite and epidote described by Heddle, but chloritoid was found in a small vein ca. 6 cm wide.

βͺ Chloritoid Formula: (Fe2+,Mg,Mn2+)Al2(SiO4)O(OH)2 Description: Found in a very limited vein, in mica schist, up to 6 cm thick, and forming the outer margins of the vein, with quartz up the centre. Occasionally the full thickness of the vein is chloritoid. References: |
