Eclogites occur in an amphibolite body near Sv.Ilja, north-west of the village Obidim. Eclogites occur as dm- to m-sized lenses and blocks in the amphibolites. Kyanite-eclogite has been identified among mostly retrogressed eclogites exposed in a roadcut. The listed minerals are exclusivly from the kyanite-eclogite.

Coordinates are approximate based on a map presented by Janak et al. (2011)

ⓘ Albite

Formula: Na(AlSi₃O₈)

ⓘ Almandine

Formula: Fe²⁺₃Al₂(SiO₄)₃

Habit: Subhedral grains

Colour: reddish

Description: Garnet is the most common mineral in the kyanite-eclogite. It forms subhedral crystals up so several mm in size. The garnet core is rich in inclusions (see list of associated minerals) whereas the rim is mostly free of inclusions. Rare polyphase aggregates of staurolite, kyanite and amphibole are found in fractures penetrating the in some garnets. The fractures are connected with the matrix. The garnets are surrounded by amphibole + plagioclase kelyphite. The composition of the garnet shows increase of Mg and decrease of Fe and Mn from the core to the rim at nearly constant Ca content. A reverse pattern can be observed in the outermost part of garnet.Fe is dominant in all analyses.

ⓘ 'Amphibole Supergroup'

Formula: AB₂C₅((Si,Al,Ti)₈O₂₂)(OH,F,Cl,O)₂

Description: Amphibole occurs both as euhedral crystals included in garnet and in the matrix. The matrix amphiboles occurss in different mode: Near garnet porphyroblasts, amphiboles are found as kelyphitic rims, as lath-shaped crystals, or symplectitic intergrowths with clinopyroxene and plagioclase. Further away from the garnets, amphiboles occurs as dark-green to brown-green poikiloblastic grains. The amphibole composition is variable. The amphibole compositions ranges from magnesio-hornblende towards more Al-rich compositions near the pargasite/tschermakite/sadanagaite join. The most Al-rich compositions are found as inclusions in garnets.

ⓘ Anorthite

Formula: Ca(Al₂Si₂O₈)

References:

ⓘ 'Biotite'

Formula: K(Fe²⁺/Mg)₂(Al/Fe³⁺/Mg/Ti)([Si/Al/Fe]₂Si₂O₁₀)(OH/F)₂

Description: Biotite and plagioclase form symplectitic intergrowths after phengite.

References:

ⓘ Coesite

Formula: SiO₂

Description: Polycrystalline aggregates of quartz included in garnet are commonly interpreted as pseudomorphs after coesite. This interpretation is supported by thermobarometric modelling showing peak pressure conditions within the stability field of coesite.

References:

ⓘ Corundum

Formula: Al₂O₃

Description: Corundum + plagioclase form fine-grained symplectites after kyanite porphyroblasts. Corundum + plagioclase symplectites are rarer than spinel + plagioclase symplectites after kyanite

References:

ⓘ Diopside

Formula: CaMgSi₂O₆

Description: Diopside+ plagioclase commonly forms symplectitic intergrowths after matrix omphacite.

References:

ⓘ 'Garnet Group'

Formula: X₃Z₂(SiO₄)₃

Description: The reported garnet group mineral corresponds to almandine for all analysed samples.

References:

ⓘ Hercynite

Formula: Fe²⁺Al₂O₄

Description: All 3 spinel analyses provided by Janek et al. (2011) has Fe>Mg and is therefore hercynite.

References:

ⓘ Kyanite

Formula: Al₂(SiO₄)O

Habit: lath shaped

Colour: white bluish

Description: Kyanite forms tiny, randomly oriented inclusions in garnet (Fig. 5d). It is also abundant in the matrix as up to .5mm lath-shaped porphyroblasts with inclusions of omphacite and zoisite. Omphacite is partly replaced by diopside, plagioclase and amphibole, and partly rimmed by plagioclase intergrown with spinel(more common)or corundum.

References:

ⓘ Magnesio-hornblende

Formula: ◻Ca₂(Mg₄Al)(Si₇Al)O₂₂(OH)₂

Description: Magnesio-hornblende is the dominant matrix amphibole and forms relatively large, pleochroic, dark-green to brown-green poikiloblastic grains. amphibole inclusions near fractures in garnets also corresponds to magnesio-hornblende.

References:

ⓘ Muscovite

Formula: KAl₂(AlSi₃O₁₀)(OH)₂

References:

ⓘ Muscovite var. Phengite

Formula: KAl_1.5(Mg,Fe)_0.5(Al_0.5Si_3.5O₁₀)(OH)₂

Description: Phengite occurs as inclusions in the garnet. In the matrix, phengite is replaced by symplctitic intergrowths of biotite and plagioclase.

References:

ⓘ Omphacite

Formula: (Na_aCa_bFe²⁺_cMg_d)(Al_eFe³⁺_fFe²⁺_gMg_h)Si₂O₆

Description: Omphacite occurs mostly as inclusions in garnet and kyanite. In the matrix, most omphacite has broken down to symplectitic intergrowths of diopside and plagioclase.

References:

ⓘ Pargasite

Formula: NaCa₂(Mg₄Al)(Si₆Al₂)O₂₂(OH)₂

Description: The composition of amphibole inclusions in garnet are near the pargasite-tschermakite-sadanagaite join.

References:

ⓘ 'Plagioclase'

Formula: (Na,Ca)[(Si,Al)AlSi₂]O₈

Description: Plagioclase is a common retrograde product in the kyanite-eclogite. It is part of symplectites after omphacite, and kelyphites around garnet together with diopside and amphibole. It also form symplectites with spinel and corundum around kyanite.

References:

ⓘ Quartz

Formula: SiO₂

Description: Quartz occurs as inclusions in garnets. Some of these form polycrystalline aggregates which can be diagnostic but not unique to quartz pseudomorphs after coesite.

References:

ⓘ Rutile

Formula: TiO₂

Description: Rutile occurs as a minor accessory mineral in teh kyanite-eclogite. Rutile is part of the high pressure assemblage.

References:

ⓘ Sadanagaite

Formula: {Na}{Ca₂}{Mg₃Al₂}(Si₅Al₃O₂₂)(OH)₂

Description: The composition of amphibole inclusions in garnet are near the pargasite-tschermakite-sadanagaite join.

References:

ⓘ Spinel

Formula: MgAl₂O₄

Description: Spinel, corundum and anorthite-rich plagioclase occurs as a retrograde replacement of kyanite and zoisite.

Description: The composition of amphibole inclusions in garnet are near the pargasite-tschermakite-sadanagaite join.

References:

ⓘ Zoisite

Formula: (CaCa)(AlAlAl)O[Si₂O₇][SiO₄](OH)

Description: Zoisite occurs mostly as inclusions in the core of garnet and seldom in the kyanite. Matrix zoisite is partly replaced by plagioclase, spinel and corundum.
