For my young geo-friends who have some trouble looking at "real" rocks up close in the field. Hope this will help!

The Sole of the Ophiolite .
Garnet Amphibolite, kids.
I found this in one of your scrap piles by the school. Shiny black amphibole, deformed altered feldspars (probably rodingtite as of now), and those lovely red garnets. The garnets are about 2-3 mm in diameter.
