| Caption: | Barytes vein in the Foss Baryte Mine, Aberfeldy, Perthshire. |
| Description: | Barytes vein in the Foss Baryte Mine, Aberfeldy. The image shows the contact between pyrite and banded barytes. Note minor faulting in barytes along which brown stained iron oxides have travelled and been deposited. Stratabound barium-zinc-lead mineralization extends at intervals of over seven kilometres of the strike-length of the Dalradian (Precambrian) Ben Eagach Schist Formation to the north of Aberfeldy. Mineralization can be traced for 1.8 km. from the Foss Mine. The main barytes bed averages four metres thick in the worked parts of the deposit. |
