Beinn Mheadhoin (1182m) - pronounced as ’Ben Vane’ - was formerly well known as producing smoky quartz, in the 19th century!

The next day it was really sunny and I drove round to the east side of the mountain, which looks like this. The slopes are much more gentle but there is hardly any bare rock. The photo was taken from the top of Cnoc nan Cuilean (557m) which apparently is a distinctly different part of the syenite intrusion, containing more mafic minerals and elevated REE’s. I didn’t see anything worth jumping up and down about. Oh except perhaps an otter in the burn (stream) that I followed to get there. (Author: Mike Wood)

Beinn Mheadhoin, Cairngorm Mountains, Grampian Region, Scotland, UK
42mm x15mm
This turbid greenish beryl crystal (repaired) was found in a very localised patch of pegmatite. It was nestled in a patch of quartz and was about 4" long (10cm) but broke apart badly upon extraction. Found 1994. (Author: Mike Wood)

Ben a’ Bhuird, Cairngorm Mountains, Grampian Region, Scotland, UK
14mm x 8mm x 7mm
Same specimen as above showing the termination in more detail. I did have one of these pale yellow beryls cut one time, after I first came across them in the mid 1990’s. The gems were small but rather beautiful, and not far off a true heliodor for colour. Unfortunately the one I kept I lost during a house move ten years ago -_-
I think I’ve got a slide photo of it somewhere, I’ll try to find it and scan it. (Author: Mike Wood)
