Heulandite Sgurr nam Boc, Isle of Skye, Scotland, UK 16 cm x 12 cm x 8 cm The largest heulandite crystal I have collected - it measures 80mm x 50mm. There are smaller heulandite crystals to 25mm and stilbite crystals to 25mm attached to the large crystal, all lustrous, resting on a bed of coloured chabazite crystals to 10mm, and a mesolite spray. The mineral combination appears to be unique to this boulder, near the south end of the beach. The specimen is repaired - it split in half - right down the middle of the big crystal ! But no way was I going to leave it like that, so I glued the two halves back together. Sorry. Self-collected 2006 from Sgurr nam Boc. (Author: Mike Wood)
