| Description: | East shore of Wester Wick, looking north, Skelda Ness Peninsula, Shetland Isles. Veins of scapolite following joints in granite. Part of the Sandsting Complex a granitic to ultrabasic intrusive igneous complex. The granite around Wester Wick contains a number of lenticular, near-vertical north-north-west trending belts of intensely sheared rock. Sodic scapolite occurs both as a replacement product and as a vein filling mineral in these belts. Pale-coloured scapolite veins, inclined towards the west (left), can be seen in the foreground. The scapolite was probably introduced by hydrothermal solutions along active shear belts, joints and other lines of weakness at some time after the emplacement of the granite. |
