Most of the mine's workings are within amphibolite or chlorite and hornblende schists of the Tightner unit with the remainder in the conglomerate, chert, and shale of the Kanaka unit (Burke, 1997). The Tightner unit forms the hanging wall throughout the mine. The footwall is comprised of both Tightner and Kanaka rocks, the Kanaka unit being ...

Recent 142Nd work on the Nuvvuagittuq greenstone belt suggests that it formed at ~4.28 Ga, making it the only known remnant of Hadean crust preserved on Earth. The dominant lithology of the belt, known as the "faux-amphibolite", has a mafic composition and is composed of variable proportions of cummingtonite + biotite + quartz, ± plagioclase ± garnet ± anthophyllite ± cordierite.

Hornblende is a rock-forming mineral that is an important constituent in acidic and intermediate igneous rocks such as granite, diorite, syenite, andesite, and rhyolite. It is also found in metamorphic rocks such as gneiss and schist. A few rocks consist almost entirely of hornblende. Amphibolite is the name given to metamorphic rocks that are ...

Gore Mountain Garnet, found in the Adirondack mountains in New York, contains the world's largest garnets. The rock that holds these garnets, garnet amphibolite, is sometimes referred to as 'black ore' or 'dark ore.' This rock formation formed during metamorphism during the Ottawan Orogeny, and extremely high temperatures combined with introduction of fluids is what most likely contributed to ...

Metamorphic grade of these rocks ranges from middle greenschist in the western part of the mine to middle amphibolite facies in the deep, eastern section of the mine. The entire rock package was subjected to several periods of deformation during the Precambrian resulting in complex fold patterns, and significant, localized shear zones.

Amphibolite is a common metamorphic rock. It is made of amphiboles (usually hornblende) and plagioclase. Most samples have a relatively simple composition: hornblende + plagioclase. Garnet (almandine), pyroxene, biotite, titanite, magnetite, epidote, chlorite, and quartz are also frequent constituents.
