The fabric in this thin section is more disordered than others from this suite. All phases commingle and an alignment of elongate phases amidst many equant phase forms a weak foliation. Garnet and omphacite form porphryclastic, poikiloblastic grains.
Glaucophane, muscovite, sphene, and elongate aggregates of epidote-group minerals define the foliation in this thin section. Poikiloblastic garnet and omphacite grains contain inclusions which include glaucophane and rutile.
Glaucophane, muscovite, sphene, and elongate aggregates of epidote-group minerals define the foliation in this thin section. Poikiloblastic garnet and omphacite grains contain inclusions which include glaucophane and rutile and the host minerals show resorption textures.

Allotriomorphic omphacite and clinozoisite are intergrown with one another, with clinozoisite occurring frequently as inclusions within the omphacite crystals. The occurrence of muscovite is typically contained to polycrystalline nodes with radiating crystals. The conspicuous rutile grain in the center with radiating veinlets has a rim of plagioclase buffering it from the surrounding material. It contains inclusions of chlorite and sphene. Sphene is abundant as large, subhedral clasts.
Strongly aligned, microcrenulated glaucophane and muscovite define the tightly folded foliation of this rock. Sphene is skeletal with inclusions of both aforementioned phases.
