Description

An eclogite rock with nice omphacite crystals of green colour associated to spheroidal almandines of pale red colour. One face has been cut, so the internal structure is better observed. Other face show natural alteration of these metastable rocks, so it is a quite didactic specimen. More information about this material can be found in Bernard-Griffiths & Jahn (1981).

Ex L.Van Goethem collection.
