Modane is a commune crossed by the Arc River in the Maurienne Valley.
A small body of metagabbros (glaucophanites) enclosed in marble and gyps is located just south of Modane. The Modane metagabbros are massive, coarse-grained with appearance of gabbroic texture. The primary pyroxene is completely replaced by glaucophane-crossite, chlorite and albite; with large amounts of rutile-leucoxene and minor jadeite, biotite, phengite, lawsonite and quartz. The glaucophane preserved the shape of the former pyroxene-crystals and sometimes is associated with crossite. It is often rimmed by actinolite. Fe-rich epidote and scarce lawsonite form euhedral prisms usually embedded in the matrix. The albite is sometimes replaced by calcite. Rutile-leucoxene is rarely transformed to titanite. Biotite is Ti-rich, usually grew along chlorite edges. The jadeite is partially replaced by chlorite and glaucophane, while phengite were only locally observed (Abdel-Karim & Puskás, 1989).
