Suevite and impact breccias with heavily shocked biotite-plagioclase and amphibolite fragments, glass bombs.
Shock pressure : 16-20 GPa.
Rutile is associated with two other TiO2 polymorphs :
- TiO2 (alpha-PbO2 structure) (TiO2 II)
- TiO2 (Baddeleyite structure P21/c) (IMA2007-058)

Located east of Wemding and about 30 km ENE of Nördlingen.

Formula: TiO₂

ⓘ Coesite

Formula: SiO₂

ⓘ Diamond

Formula: C

Colour: Grey, dark green, yellowish.

Description: Impact diamonds in glass bombs and gneiss elemnts of the suevite. Diamonds appear as thin pseudo-hexagonal plates (up to 100 µm) : they have formed by displacive phase transformation in solid state (martensitic or diffusion process) from graphite.

ⓘ Rutile

Formula: TiO₂

Description: Rutile is associated with two other TiO2 polymorphs : - TiO2 (alpha-PbO2 structure) with pink internal reflections - TiO2 (Baddeleyite structure P21/c) with intense blue internal reflections and reflectivity much higher than rutile TiO2 with ZrO2 structure forms fine-grained polycrystalline monophase grains surrounded by shock-twinned ilmenite and rutile, or single grains rimmed by rutile, alpha-PbO2 TiO2, ilmenite and titanite.
