Blueschist – Location 28


 
Sample : Photo location 28
  Rock name : Blueschist (Turner, 1982)

 

Megascopic description:

Brecciated blueschist with cement of whithish minerals and garnet.

Microscopic description:

The thin section of blueschist shows the heteroblastic textures, consist of glaucophane, epidote, plagioclase, sphene, muscovite, and patches of calcite, 0.3 – 1.7 mm in crystals size, anhedral – subhedral in shape. The schistosity structure is formed by the orientation of nematoblastic minerals of glaucophane.
