Definición

  • Amphibolite is a metamorphic rock that contains amphibole, especially hornblende and actinolite, as well as plagioclase feldspar. Amphibolite is a grouping of rocks composed mainly of amphibole and plagioclase, with little or no quartz. Metamorphosed basalt creates ortho-amphibolite and other chemically appropriate lithologies create para-amphibolite. (Adapted from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphibolite)
