| Description: | This specimen of muscovite mica is from a deposit half a mile east-south-east of the Coire an Lochain, on the south face of Tom an Neoil. It is situated in the close proximity of the once commercially important Loch Nevis mica prospect. British Geological Survey Petrology Collection sample number MC 7406. The location resides in a belt of muscovite-rich pegmatites that extends from Knoydart southwards to Loch Shiel and Loch Sunart. Investigations into the muscovite-rich pegmatites of Knoydart were conducted by the Geological Survey of Scotland in late 1942. The deposit was opened up in May 1943 working five quarries. The mica was sent to Pitlochry for processing. |
