They are located in western Invernessshire and north-west Argyll, along a north-south belt extending from Loch Sunart across Loch Shiel and Loch Nevis into Knoydart. There are five main localities of which two Dalilea and Knoydart yielded ruby mica of excellent quality. The five localities are Ardarie, near Strontian, Argyllshire; Dalilea, Loch Shiel, Invernessshire; Austincroft, near Dalilea, Loch Shiel, Invernessshire; Diollaid, west of Glenfinnan, Invernessshire and the Loch Nevis Mica prospect, Knoydart, Invernessshire. In Scotland, the only source of muscovite-rich pegmatites suitable for sheet mica are those pegmatites cutting the Moinian rocks in two areas: in a western belt extending from Knoydart southwards to Loch Shiel and Loch Sunart and an eastern group in the Strathpeffer and Garve districts of Rossshire. Both provided a site for commercial production of sheet mica during the Second World War.P528073.}}<br /> |date=2017-08-02 19:05:15<br /> |source=British Geological Survey<br /> |author=British Geological Survey<br /> |permission=<br /> |other versions=<br /> }}<br /> <br /> =={{int:license-header}}==<br /> {{subst:Custom license marker added by UW}}<br /> {{BGS}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Uploaded with UploadWizard]]</div>
