Mr. J. W. Brooke has a beautifully polished specimen, made of a green transparent stone, from Breamore, Salisbury. It has lost a small piece at the butt-end, but is still 8 inches long. It is only 2 5∕8 inches broad at the cutting end. Another celt, 7 3∕4 inches long, “the edges thin, rising gradually to about the thickness of half an inch in the middle,” was found in 1791 near Hopton, Derbyshire.[349] The material is described as appearing “to be marble, of a light colour tinged with yellow, and a mixture of pale red and green veins.” In the collection of the late Mr. J. F. Lucas was a celt of this type |108| 5 1∕2 inches long, slightly unsymmetrical in outline, owing to the cleavage of the stone. It is said to have been found near Brierlow, Buxton. The material is a green jade-like stone, but so fibrous in appearance as to resemble fibrolite. Another, of “a fine granite stone, highly polished, 9 inches long, 4 1∕4 broad at one end, tapering to the other, its thickness in the middle 3∕4 of an inch, and quite sharp at the edges all round,” was found at Mains,[350] near Dumfries, in 1779. It was discovered in blowing up some large stones, possibly those of a dolmen, and is now in the possession of Sir R. S. Riddell, Bart., of Strontian. [Illustration: Fig. 52A.—Berwickshire. 1∕2] Several other specimens have been found in Scotland. A beautiful celt from Berwickshire[351] is, through the kindness of the Society of |109| Antiquaries of Scotland, shown in Fig. 52A. It is made of green quartz and has the edge intentionally blunted. A smaller celt (7 1∕2 inches) was found at Cunzierton near Jedburgh[352]; another (8 inches) at Rattray,[353] Perthshire; another (8 1∕4 inches), only 3∕4 inch thick at most, near Glenluce,[354] Wigtownshire; and others (8 inches) at Aberfeldy,[355] Perthshire, and Dunfermline.[356] Several of these highly polished jadeite celts have been found in dolmens in Brittany and there are some fine specimens in the museum at Vannes. Some of them[357] have small holes bored through them. The various types of Brittany celts have been classified by the Société Polymathique du Morbihan.[358] In the Musée de St. Germain is a specimen (unbored) 9 inches long, found near Paris,[359] as also a hoard of fifteen, originally seventeen, mostly of jadeite and fibrolite, some perforated, found at Bernon,[360] near Arzon, Morbihan, in 1893. I have one 7 1∕2 inches long from St. Jean, Châteaudun, and others 5 3∕8 to 7 inches in length, of beautiful varieties of jade-like stone, found at Eu (Seine Inférieure), Miannay, near Abbeville (Somme), and Breteuil (Oise). The two latter are rounded and not sharp at the sides. One about 6 1∕2 inches long, from the environs of Soissons, is in the museum at Lyons. One of jade, of analogous form to these, and found near Brussels, is engraved by Le Hon.[361] Another was found at Maffles.[362]
