Megascopic description:

Strongly foliated rock, fine crystalline dark color (dark grey – greenish, or bluish?) cut by cream-brownish veinlets. Weatehered garnet (cream color) clusters are locally found, probably mylonitic rock.

Microscopic description:

The thin section of schist shows the heteroblastic textures, consist of quartz, chlorite, muscovite, epidote, and opaque, less than 0.3 mm in crystals size, anhedral – subhedral in shape. Opaque mineral sometimes present as porpyroblasts to form the porpyroblastic texture, subhedral in shape, and up to 1.5 mm in crystal size. The schistosity structure is formed by the orientation and segregation of quartz, chlorite, muscovite, opaque, and they strongly folded and/or faulted to mylonitic texture. The veins of calcite sometimes present to cut the rock.
