| Caption: | Barytes from Pockmuir Burn, Meikle Auchinstilloch area, Lanarkshire. |
| Description: | This specimen of barytes is from the Pockmuir Burn. Barytes is barium sulphate. British Geological Survey Petrology Collection sample number MC 7351. A number of localities of barytes are recorded in the Pockmuir Burn, one is about half-way from the Coal Burn to the River Nethan. At this locality there is a six feet wide north-west trending vein of reddish barytes which contains a good many strings of haematite. Some galena has also been recorded. Nearby and 200 yards to the north-east early Ordnance Survey maps record an old lead mine, this probably indicates the presence of a parallel barytes vein. Another locality has a three feet wide vein of dark pink barytes with a north-south trend 900 yards from the 1,609 feet cairn on Meikle Auchinstilloch. |
