Eclogite ( / ˈɛklədʒaɪt /) is a metamorphic rock containing garnet (almandine - pyrope) hosted in a matrix of sodium -rich pyroxene (omphacite). Accessory minerals include kyanite, rutile, …

Eclogite, any member of a small group of igneous and metamorphic rocks whose composition is similar to that of basalt. Eclogites consist primarily of green pyroxene (omphacite) and red …

Eclogite is a metamorphic rock consisting of pyroxene omphacite and pyrope-rich garnet. It is a rare but geologically significant rock type. It is common in the upper mantle, especially in …

Eclogite: A high P/T metamorphic rock composed of more than 75% vol. garnet (often pyrope or Mg-rich almandine) and omphacite (Na-Ca-Al-Mg clinopyroxene). Both must be present and …

Eclogite is a rare and significant rock formed only by conditions typically found in the mantle or the lowermost part of the thickened crust. The rock occurs with garnet peridotite in Greenland and …
