Stones in the wall of blackhouse at Suidhe. A big block of local Moine mica schist has been laid "on edge" so that the mica flakes relfect spectacularly. And below this, a block of Moine psammite containing a distinctive wee pale spotty calc-silicate layer with one dark margin has been broken in half by the builder, and the two pieces used next to each other. One has been rotated so that it is "upside down" relative to the other. #Mull #Bunessan #BuildingStones
