Eclogite - Wikipedia
WEBEclogite (/ ˈɛklədʒaɪt /) is a metamorphic rock containing garnet (almandine - pyrope) hosted in a matrix of sodium -rich pyroxene (omphacite). Accessory minerals include kyanite, rutile, quartz, lawsonite, coesite, amphibole, phengite, paragonite, zoisite, dolomite, corundum and, rarely, diamond.
Eclogite - Metamorphic Rocks - Sandatlas
WEBEclogite is a metamorphic rock consisting of pyroxene omphacite and pyrope-rich garnet. It is a rare but geologically significant rock type. It is common in the upper mantle, especially in regions occupied by subducted oceanic plates.
Eclogite : Compositions, Formation, Properties - Geology Science
WEBJan 12, 2023 · Eclogite is a type of metamorphic rock with distinct mineral composition and texture, typically formed under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions deep within the Earth’s crust. The name “eclogite” is derived from the Greek words “eklogē,” meaning selection or choice, and “lithos,” meaning rock.
Eclogite | Metamorphic, Mafic Minerals & Garnet | Britannica
WEBEclogite, any member of a small group of igneous and metamorphic rocks whose composition is similar to that of basalt. Eclogites consist primarily of green pyroxene (omphacite) and red garnet (pyrope), with small amounts of various other stable minerals—e.g., rutile. They are formed when volcanic.
Eclogite Meanings and Crystal Properties - The Crystal Council
WEBEclogite is a mafic (high iron & magnesium silicate) metamorphic rock consisting of pink or red Garnet (Pyrope or Almandine) and Omphacite. Omphacite is a sodium rich mineral and member of the Pyroxene crystal family.
Eclogite - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
WEBEclogite is a rare and significant rock formed only by conditions typically found in the mantle or the lowermost part of the thickened crust. The rock occurs with garnet peridotite in Greenland and other ophiolite complexes.
Eclogite - ALEX STREKEISEN
WEBEclogite: A high P/T metamorphic rock composed of more than 75% vol. garnet (often pyrope or Mg-rich almandine) and omphacite (Na-Ca-Al-Mg clinopyroxene). Both must be present and neither component more than 75% vol. Eclogite never contains plagioclase.
