Description: | Glencoe, [Argyll and Bute], [Scotland] unknown In the Lanfine catalogue Entry 142, Thomas Brown says: " Epidote that variety named Withamite from Mr Witham who found it in Glencoe. It is merely epidote". This suggests that he got the specimen from Witham himself, who found the occurrence in 1824. The name "withamite" was given by David Brewster, who described Witham's material in 1825. It's interesting that Thomas Brown regarded it, correctly, as merely a vairety of epidote. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | SILICTMISC : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
