We were up in the Highlands at the end of September 2026 to resupply for winter before the mountains become dangerous. This piece of mica schist with Almondine garnets came from that trip.

This mica with garnets is a small sample but has visible garnets in that shiny mica matrix.

This piece came from Perthshire though we do have a few new locations to explore for this material, so watch this space.

This is a soft rock specimen, no more than 4 on the Mohs scale. We will wrap it extra tightly for you.
