Diamonds sometimes contain minute inclusions of the minerals garnet, olivine, and pyroxene, which indicate formation in two major mantle rock-types, peridotite and eclogite. |
A large sample of eclogite was collected from a small bay close to Letterfearn. |
Assiduoud field-workers have discovered little pods of a rock called eclogite in the rocks around San Bernardino. |
With omphacite and smaragdite, garnet forms the peculiar rock called eclogite. |
Some regard the eclogite boulders as derived from deep-seated crystalline rocks, others as concretions in the blue ground. |
In similar contrast to the Okenyenya xenolith suite, lithologies such as wehrlite, eclogite and pyroxenite are also absent. |
