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.
