Amphibolite. Amphibolite () is a metamorphic rock that contains amphibole, especially hornblende and actinolite, as well as plagioclase. Amphibolite is a grouping of rocks composed mainly of amphibole and plagioclase feldspar, with little or no quartz. It is typically dark-colored and dense, with a weakly foliated or schistose (flaky) structure.

Amphibolite is a common metamorphic rock that forms through the high-grade metamorphism of mafic rocks. It is characterized by the presence of amphibole minerals, typically hornblende and/or actinolite. These minerals give amphibolite its typical dark greenish-black color. Metamorphic means "changed form," and amphibolite is a good …
Subsequently, these amphibolite facies rocks further experienced three stages of metamorphism at c. 800 Ma, 440 Ma and 200 Ma in the context of northward subduction of the Yangtze Block. ... Considering the SQO subducted into the YZB in ∼2,500 Ma (Zhang et al., 2002), amphibolite may have been formed in an island arc …
Amphibolite, a rock composed largely or dominantly of minerals of the amphibole group. The term has been applied to rocks of either igneous or metamorphic origin. In igneous …
metamorphic facies. amphibolite facies, one of the major divisions of the mineral-facies classification of metamorphic rocks, the rocks of which formed under conditions of moderate to high temperatures (500° C, or about 950° F, maximum) and pressures. Less intense temperatures and pressures form rocks of the epidote-amphibolite facies, and ...
Il est caractérisé par la juxtaposition tectonique de roches de faciès granulite et de faciès amphibolite. Les gneiss gris migmatitiques, les paragneiss migmatitiques à grenat–cordiérite–sillimanite et les micaschistes à grenat–staurotide ont atteint des conditions de pression maximale allant de ∼ 6,6 kbar à 620 °C à ∼ 10 ...
Leiss et al. (2002) determined textures of amphibolite and quartz amphibolite and found point distributions in one quartz amphibolite sample, and patterns resembling a-fiber textures in three samples. They explain the different textures with variations in the strain regime.
The Amphibolite classification is based on the followingstatements: 1) The modal compositions of amphibolites show that most ofthem contain more than 50% of amphibole, but those …
It is thought that the first continental crust formed by melting of either eclogite or amphibolite, either at subduction zones1 or on the underside of thick oceanic crust2. However, the observed ...
Here we present the results of novel experiments on simple shear deformation of amphibolite at high pressure and temperatures (1 GPa, 480–700 °C). ... (Table 5 in the paper by Ji et al. 8) ...
What is Amphibolite? Amphibolite is a coarse-grained metamorphic rock that is composed mainly of green, brown, or black amphibole minerals and plagioclase feldspar. The amphiboles are usually members of the …
The name amphibole (Greek αμφιβολος - amphibolos meaning 'ambiguous') was used by René Just Haüy to include tremolite, actinolite, tourmaline, and hornblende. The group …
Amphibolite. Amphibolite is a common metamorphic rock. It is made of amphiboles (usually hornblende) and plagioclase. Most samples have a relatively simple composition: hornblende + plagioclase. Garnet (almandine), pyroxene, biotite, titanite, magnetite, epidote, chlorite, and quartz are also frequent constituents.
Amphibolite is a gneissose or granofelsic metamorphic rock mainly consisting of green, brown or black amphibole and plagioclase (including albite), which combined form ≥75% of the rock and both of which are present as major constituents; the amphibole constitutes ≥50% of the total mafic constituents and is present in an amount of ≥30%. A …
The exposed Archean-Paleoproterozoic orthogneiss includes TTG gneiss, monzogranitic gneiss, granitic gneiss and dioritic gneiss (Long et al., 2014, Zhang et al., 2014).The oldest rock in this area is a suite of newly discovered Eoarchean TTG gneiss possibly crystallized at ∼3.6–3.7 Ga (Li et al., 2001, Ge et al., 2018).It certifies that the …
garn et amphibolite only occurs in the matrix. It shows direct contact with garnet (Figure 3f). The phengite has X Si values ranging from 0.578 . to 0.585 (Figure 5b). Whereas X Mg values range .
The Bronzite bearing rock is hosting small grains of magnetite. Due to these inclusions of magnetite, »Bronzite-Pyroxenite« is magnetic and »Golden Amphibolite« is not. A simple check whether the rock is magnetic or not, helps to distinguish these two rocks. Dietrich et al, 1988, A Gem-Quality Iridescent Orthoamphibole From Wyoming.
Amphibolite facies lithologies are generally sampled through exhumed terrains and are more rarely sampled through xenoliths. Granulite facies lithologies can be sampled via terrains or xenoliths.
DESCRIPTION: Amphibolite and amphibole gneiss are the most common amphibole-rich rocks. Both are foliated metamorphic rocks and many are difficult to distinquish macroscopically one from the other. By definition, both consist largely of an amphibole; they differ in that amphibolite has plagioclase feldspar as its second most …

Amphibolite dehydration melting-derived magmas should be generally sodic with Na/K mass ratios greater than 1.0 (Wolf and Wyllie, 1994) and enriched in Sr but depleted in Rb (a few ppm) (Zeng et al., 2011). On the contrary, the BM and BMG display K and Rb enrichment signatures as mentioned above.
Amphiboles are a group of rock-forming chain silicates that occurs in many igneous and metamorphic rocks. Their complex structure allow to incorporate several different elements in solid solution, producing a wide …

Description. Amphibolite is a dark, heavy, metamorphic rock composed mostly of the mineral amphibole. Amphibolites have very little to no quartz. "Amphibole" refers not to a single mineral, but to a group of minerals. Most belong to the monoclinic crystal system, but some belong to the orthorhombic crystal system.
A garnet amphibolite from the Imjingang belt in the Korean Peninsula is chosen as an example of the P-T-t estimation for metamorphic rocks with an upper amphibolite facies peak metamorphism (Fig. 10; Lee et al., 2019). The Imjingang belt has been suggested as an extension of the Dabie-Sulu collision belt in China but gives P-T conditions of ...
