ⓘ 'Amphibole Supergroup'
Formula: AB2C5((Si,Al,Ti)8O22)(OH,F,Cl,O)2
ⓘ 'Biotite'
Formula: K(Fe2+/Mg)2(Al/Fe3+/Mg/Ti)([Si/Al/Fe]2Si2O10)(OH/F)2
ⓘ Clinozoisite
Formula: (CaCa)(AlAlAl)O[Si2O7][SiO4](OH)
ⓘ Corundum
Formula: Al2O3
Description: Occure as nodules in eclogite, partly altered to margarite. Eskola first thought it to be wollastonite, but Bryhni proved it to be corundum.
ⓘ 'Garnet Group'
Formula: X3Z2(SiO4)3
ⓘ Ilmenite
Formula: Fe2+TiO3
ⓘ Kyanite
Formula: Al2(SiO4)O
ⓘ Margarite
Formula: CaAl2(Al2Si2O10)(OH)2
ⓘ Muscovite
Formula: KAl2(AlSi3O10)(OH)2
ⓘ Omphacite
Formula: (NaaCabFe2+cMgd)(AleFe3+fFe2+gMgh)Si2O6
ⓘ 'Plagioclase'
Formula: (Na,Ca)[(Si,Al)AlSi2]O8
ⓘ Quartz
Formula: SiO2
ⓘ Rutile
Formula: TiO2
ⓘ Taramite
Formula: Na(CaNa)(Mg3Al2)(Al2Si6O22)(OH)2
Description: Cotkin (1977) describes that "In one sample, the rare Na-Ca amphibole magnesio-alumino-taramite appears to be part of the eclogite assemblage".
ⓘ Titanite
Formula: CaTi(SiO4)O
ⓘ Wollastonite
Formula: Ca3(Si3O9)
Description: Reported as wollastonite but later showed to be corundum altered to margarite (Neumann 1985)
ⓘ Zoisite
Formula: (CaCa)(AlAlAl)O[Si2O7][SiO4](OH)
