An isotropic metamorphic lithotype, that is anisotropic where the veins occur. The material is composed of blasts that are subeuhedral and euhedral in the suborder with sutured/linear or rounded grain boundaries of a seriate size (from 50 to 400 μm). There are also millimetric nodules in places composed of larger crystals (500-900 μm) and veins composed of calcitic microblasts (approx. 40 µm) and rhombic dolomitic blasts clouded by opaque minerals, acicular muscovite, rare poikilitic quartz with inclusions and widespread pyrite microcrystals (< 30 μm). |
