Calcite + stilbite
Biod a’ Mhurain, Duirinish, Isle of Skye, Scotland, UK
The plate measures 22 cm x 13 cm

Very large plate covered on both sides with simple calcite rhombs to 5mm, on a layer of micro stilbite crystals (which are much more exposed on the back of the specimen). Several groups of large pale yellow interpenetrant calcite rhombs are perched aesthetically on the specimen. The plate measures 22cm x 13cm. Self-collected, in the company of Dave Green, 1997 from Biod a’ Mhurain, Duirinish, Isle of Skye. (Author: Mike Wood)
