Detailed Mineral List:

ⓘ Actinolite
Formula: ◻Ca2(Mg4.5-2.5Fe0.5-2.5)Si8O22(OH)2
Description: Actinolite together with magnesio-hornblende are the dominant eclogites in amphibole+plagioclase symplectites in the retrogressed eclogites. The symplectites has formed as a replacement of omphacite from the primary eclogite.
ⓘ Albite
Formula: Na(AlSi3O8)
Description: The plagioclase found as inclusions in garnets in the unaltered eclogites are almost pure albite. Albite also occurs as symplectitic intergrowths with diopside after omphacite.
ⓘ Almandine
Formula: Fe2+3Al2(SiO4)3
Description: Garnet is a major constituent of the unaltered eclogite. It constitutes around 40 vol% of the rock. It forms aggregates of subhedral grains of 0.05–0.8 mm in diameter. In the retrogressed eclogites, the garnets have re-crystallised during decompression and the composition has changed from Grs32Prp8Alm59Sps1 in the core and Grs29Prp15Alm55Sps1 at the rim for the eclogite garnet, and Grs38Prp0.0Alm42Sps20 in the core and Grs38Prp4Alm49Sps9 at the rim in the retrograded eclogites.
ⓘ 'Amphibole Supergroup'
Formula: AB2C5((Si,Al,Ti)8O22)(OH,F,Cl,O)2
Description: Amphibole minerals has formed under both prograde and retrograde conditions, and may be part of the high pressure assemblage formed under peeak conditions. Amphiboles commonly occurs as inclusions in garnet and rarely as inclusions in omphacite in the unaltered eclogite, and in amphibole/plagioclase symplectites in retrograde eclogites. The amphibole content is around 10-12 modal% of the unaltered eclogite and more than 50% of the retrograde eclogite.
ⓘ Anorthite
Formula: Ca(Al2Si2O8)
ⓘ Anorthite var. Labradorite
Formula: (Ca,Na)[Al(Al,Si)Si2O8]
Description: One of the analyses of plagioclase from the retrogressed eclogites corresponds with a labradorite composition
ⓘ Antigorite
Formula: Mg3(Si2O5)(OH)4
ⓘ 'Apatite'
Formula: Ca5(PO4)3(Cl/F/OH)
Description: Apatite occurs as rare inclusions in garnets.
ⓘ Barroisite
Formula: ◻{CaNa}{Mg3Al2}(AlSi7O22)(OH)2
Description: Barroisite has been identified as single grain inclusions in garnet and as an overgrowth on glaucophane inclusions in garnet.
ⓘ 'Biotite'
Formula: K(Fe2+/Mg)2(Al/Fe3+/Mg/Ti)([Si/Al/Fe]2Si2O10)(OH/F)2
Description: Biotite occurs with plagioclase in symplectites after phengite in the retrogressed eclogites.
ⓘ Clinozoisite
Formula: (CaCa)(AlAlAl)O[Si2O7][SiO4](OH)
Description: Clinozoisite occurs as inclusions in garnets in the unaltered eclogites and a minor mineral in the retrogressed eclogites.
ⓘ Diopside
Formula: CaMgSi2O6
Description: Diopside occurs in symplectitic intergrowth with albite replacing omphacite in the unaltered eclogites.
ⓘ Ephesite
Formula: NaLiAl2(Al2Si2O10)(OH)2
ⓘ 'Ferro-sadanagaite'
Formula: {Na}{Ca2}{Fe3Al2}(Al3Si5O22)(OH)2
Description: Al-rich amphiboles are found in kelyphitic and diablastic amphiboles in the retrogressed eclogites. These amphiboles replaces garnet and winchite or omphacite during decompression. On of the analysis presented by Mpsokos et al.(2011) normalizes to ferro-sadanagaite using the 2012 amphibole nomenclature even though the silica content are too high to match the end-member formula.
ⓘ Ferro-tschermakite
Formula: ◻{Ca2}{Fe2+3Al2}(Al2Si6O22)(OH)2
Description: Al-rich amphiboles are found in kelyphitic and diablastic amphiboles in the retrogressed eclogites. These amphiboles replaces garnet and winchite or omphacite during decompression. On of the analysis presented by Mpsokos et al.(2011) normalizes to ferro-tschermakite.
ⓘ Glaucophane
Formula: ◻[Na2][Mg3Al2]Si8O22(OH)2
Description: Glaucophane occurs only as inclusions, commonly in garnet and most rarely in omphacite in primary eclogites. It is also found as inclusion in matrix Ca-amphibole of retrogressed eclogite, suggesting that glaucophane was present as a matrix phase in the eclogite stage, even though its presence at peak conditions remains uncertain
ⓘ Ilmenite
Formula: Fe2+TiO3
Description: Relic ilmenite is found as inclusions in up to 0.2mm rutile. Ilmenite is interpreted to be the original, magmatic Ti bearing phase that was replaced by titanite and then later rutile during prograde metamorphosis.
ⓘ Magnesio-hornblende
Formula: ◻Ca2(Mg4Al)(Si7Al)O22(OH)2
Description: Magnesio-hornblende together with actinolite are the dominant eclogites in amphibole+plagioclase symplectites in the retrogressed eclogites. The symplectites has formed as a replacement of omphacite from the primary eclogite.
ⓘ Margarite
Formula: CaAl2(Al2Si2O10)(OH)2
Description: Margarite is observed as inclusion in clinozoisite and as armored relics in An-rich plagioclase of the matrix in the retrogressed eclogites. Matrix margarite is interpreted to be decomposed to plagioclase and phengite, which agian is replaced by biotite + plagioclase symplectites after reaction with omphacite.
ⓘ Muscovite
Formula: KAl2(AlSi3O10)(OH)2
ⓘ Muscovite var. Phengite
Formula: KAl1.5(Mg,Fe)0.5(Al0.5Si3.5O10)(OH)2
Description: Phengite and plagioclase is formed after matrix margarite, and is in turn replaced by biotite + plagioclase symplectites after reaction with omphacite.
ⓘ Omphacite
Formula: (NaaCabFe2+cMgd)(AleFe3+fFe2+gMgh)Si2O6
Description: Omphacite constitutesaround 40 modal% of the primary eclogites where it forms the fine grained matrix. In retrogressed eclogites, omphacite is completely transformed into symplectites of Ca-amphibole + plagioclase
ⓘ Paragonite
Formula: NaAl2(AlSi3O10)(OH)2
ⓘ 'Plagioclase'
Formula: (Na,Ca)[(Si,Al)AlSi2]O8
Description: Plagioclase ( around 20% modal) and amphiboles are the most common minerals in the retrogressed eclogites.
ⓘ Preiswerkite
Formula: NaMg2Al(Al2Si2O10)(OH)2
ⓘ Rutile
Formula: TiO2
Description: Rutile is the HP Ti-bearing mineral in the primary eclogites. They are thought to be formed from original magmatic ilmenite, with titanite as an intermediate phase. Rutile occurs as 0.2mm grains.
ⓘ Taramite
Formula: Na(CaNa)(Mg3Al2)(Al2Si6O22)(OH)2
Description: Listed reference for taramite from this locality only once, and then as an associated mineral to preiswekite at Dabei Shan, China.
ⓘ Titanite
Formula: CaTi(SiO4)O
Description: Titanite has been identified as inclusions in 0.2mm rutile together with ilmenite grains. Ilmenite is interpreted to be the original, magmatic Ti bearing phase that was replaced by titanite and then later rutile during prograde metamorphosis.
ⓘ Tschermakite
Formula: ◻(Ca2)(Mg3Al2)(Al2Si6O22)(OH)2
Description: Al-rich amphiboles are found in kelyphitic and diablastic amphiboles in the retrogressed eclogites. These amphiboles replaces garnet and winchite or omphacite during decompression.
