Large specimen of nice quartz crystals to 12mm or so. There are smaller examples to be seen but this is one of the biggest. I remember spotting this on my first visit in 1997, but didn’t bother with it at the time...Must have been too busy exploring and then forgot about it. Anyway, it was still there 14 years later !

Shelter Stone Crag, Caingorm Mountains, Grampian Region, Scotland, UK
70mm x 35mm x 30mm
A fairly large but rough looking quartz crystal. It is somewhat translucent and not smoky, and appears to have an overgrowth or second generation of quartz. Found this and several small crystals near the top of Shelter Stone Crag, by carefully climbing down a ’bottomless’ gully a short distance (not the gully in the previous photo). Couldn’t do much poking about as I was acutely aware of the sickening drop below me, and the possibility of climbers somewhere below. (Author: Mike Wood)
