About MigmatiteHide

A banded metamorphic rock, pervasively heterogeneous on a meso- to megascopic scale. It typically consists of darker bands rich in mafic minerals and lighter quartzofeldspathic parts. The darker parts usually exhibit features of metamorphic rocks (eg. gneiss or amphibolite) whereas the lighter parts are of granitic texture.
