The rock is often composed of at least 50% or more platy, elongated mica crystals, however, quartz and feldspar can also be present and sometimes garnets. Schists are often named depending on their main constituent minerals, with mica schist or schist being a term to represent them overall. The dominant mica in this particular schist is Muscovite & are from the Dalradian series, a complicated group of various metamorphic rocks which are dated to the Pre-Cambrian period, present in both Scotland and Ireland.
