Further Note on Agalmatolite in Gairloch Parish, Ross-shire

Extract

In my previous communication I drew attention to an impure variety of Agalmatolite found on Creag Mhôr Thollie, and which contained an excess of silica. A similar body was referred to in connection with Mr. Hamilton Bell's paper on "New Localities for Agalmatolite" as having been obtained from Ballater Pass. In connection with the material obtained at Creag Mhôr Thollie, I expressed the opinion that the agalmatolitie mineral had been formed in the presence of an excess of silica which had become combined with the other ingredients, forming what I then termed a "Siliceous Agalmatolite."

During the past summer I have again had an opportunity of examining the Creag, and towards the northmost end found very large masses of the pure mineral.
