Extract

It is now ten years since Sauer first described under the name of riebeckite a new species of blue hornblende in the granite of Socotra.

Since that time its occurrence in the British Isles has been noted in the " felsite " of Mynydd Mawr, N. Wales ; in the " microgranite " of Ailsa Craig, Firth of Clyde; in glacial deposits from the Isle of Man; Moel Tryfaen, N. Wales; Greystones, Co. Wicklow; and Greenore, Carlingford; in granophyre from Meall Dearg, Skye; and in felsite from Middle Eildon, Roxburghshire.
