Stevensite, a smectite-group mineral from Corstorphine Hill, Edinburgh
View through CrossRef
Synopsis
Specimens of pectolite, from Corstorphine Hill, Edinburgh, were found to be coated by the smectite-group mineral stevensite. This is the first recorded occurrence of stevensite in Scotland, although the specimen was registered (as pectolite) in 1898. X-ray diffraction and spectrometry, infra-red and electron probe micro-analytical techniques were used to identify the material, which occurs as a brown gel-like phase, and is both intermixed with, and coating, the pectolite.
