Lenses of boundinated green metabasite (containing relic glaucophane, lawsonite, omphacite) surrounded by glaucophane-albite-epidote-bearing mylonitic calcschist and marble. Peak P-T conditions in these rocks were estimated to be around 1.5 – 1.8 GPa and 300 – 400 °C. The field of view is approximately 5 – 7 m.
