61.0 Garnet-glaucophane schist. Jenner, California.  Omphacite (green) and garnet in the upper left represent a relict of eclogite that is being replaced by a garnet-glaucophane assemblage that is the dominant mineralogy of the replacing glaucophane schist.  Some green minerals associated only with glaucophane and garnet (e.g., in the middle right) may be epidote. [Scale shows cm divisions.]
