Description

// Moxi geologic-mode: on //
One day I found this beautiful peridotite close up on DA, and I thought I should post one of my thin sections... (yesh, pure envy :D).
Then, here you have: a super-hiper-mega-altered pelite. You know: a metamorphic rock never rocks like a fresh rock...

Mineral information: It's a metapelite. This close up shows muscovite and an altered staurolite.

For those who don't know what I'm talking (and want to know), this is a close up of a rock belonging to the earth deep crust. This is from el Montseny (Catalànids), from Spain.
