Detailed Mineral List:
| ⓘ Axinite-(Mn) Formula: Ca2Mn2+Al2BSi4O15(OH) Locality: Logwood Hill, Calliagh, Ballybay-Clones Municipal District, Monaghan County, Ulster, Ireland Description: Ryback et al. (1988): "Veinlets up to 2 cm across of yellowish-brown fan-shaped masses in quartz, from an Fe-Mn deposit at Calliagh, 8 km SW of Monaghan, Co. Monaghan." |
| ⓘ Hematite Formula: Fe2O3 |
| ⓘ Pyrolusite Formula: Mn4+O2 |
| ⓘ Quartz Formula: SiO2 Locality: Logwood Hill, Calliagh, Ballybay-Clones Municipal District, Monaghan County, Ulster, Ireland Habit: Prismatic Colour: Clear-White Description: Various veins visible in both holes although only poor crystals are visible in certain veins in the smaller of the two holes. Large (up to 5cm) crystal faces inside the vein are quite common, usually infilled with pyrolusite or hematite. |
| ⓘ Rhodochrosite Formula: MnCO3 |
| ⓘ Formula: Ca19Fe3+Al4(Al6Mg2)(◻4)◻[Si2O7]4[(SiO4)10]O(OH)9 Locality: Logwood Hill, Calliagh, Ballybay-Clones Municipal District, Monaghan County, Ulster, Ireland - erroneously reported Description: Ryback et al. (1988): "(Manganaxinite has been) erroneously reported as idocrase by J.P. O'Reilly (1891) Proc. R. Irish Acad., ser. 3, 1, 446-50. A BM(NH) specimen labelled idocrase from this locality, collected by A. Russell in 1943, has also been shown to be an axinite group mineral by XRD (A.M. Clark, pers. comm., 1986)." References: |
