| Description: | A specimen of muscovite mica from Little Scatwell deposit located half a mile south-south-west of the Falls of Conon and two miles south-west of Garve, Rossshire. British Geological Survey Petrology Collection sample number MC 7376. At Little Scatwell three quarries reached a high level of production during the Second World War. The yield of block mica both in quality and grade did not match that of Knoydart. The production was of a greenish-ruby colour, comparatively free from metallic stains but generally containing vegetable inclusions and dense air inclusions. Production started in late summer 1943 and finished spring 1944. Total production was 117,778 lbs. The mica was processed at the Pitlochry Sorting Factory. |
