| Caption: | Ironstone and manganese from Lecht, Tomintoul, Banffshire. |
| Description: | Ironstone and manganese from the wall of the vein in the old workings to the east of the mill at the Lecht or Leicht Mine, about five and a half miles east-south-east of Tomintoul in Banffshire. British Geological Survey Petrology Collection sample number MC 7679. The mine has been re-worked for both minerals at several periods since 1730 and has also been looked at with a view to opening. Recent work on the deposit indicates that the ores were goethite and cryptomelane and the deposit is a post-Dalradian explosive-intrusion breccia. The Geological Survey of Scotland visited the mine in 1917 and undertook exploratory work and collected samples. This specimen is probably one that was collected at that time. |
