Extract

Fluorite is by no means a common mineral in Scotland, and Scottish specimens, with the exception of those from Craigmuschat quarry, Gourock, Renfrewshire, arc very rarely to be seen in collections. In the following notes an account is given of some of the more remarkable occurrences visited by the writer in the summer of 1934. Others recorded by M. F. Heddle were also visited and are mentioned, although they no longer yield specimens.
