|---|---|---|
| Species: | 'Amphibole Supergroup' (not an IMA approved species) | |
| Formula: | AB2C5(T8O22)W2 | |
| Comments: | Amphibole occurs both as euhedral crystals included in garnet and in the matrix. The matrix amphiboles occurss in different mode: Near garnet porphyroblasts, amphiboles are found as kelyphitic rims, as lath-shaped crystals, or symplectitic intergrowths with clinopyroxene and plagioclase. Further away from the garnets, amphiboles occurs as dark-green to brown-green poikiloblastic grains. The amphibole composition is variable. The amphibole compositions ranges from magnesio-hornblende towards more Al-rich compositions near the pargasite/tschermakite/sadanagaite join. The most Al-rich compositions are found as inclusions in garnets. | |
