Metamorphic Minerals in Subduction Zones
Minéraux du métamorphisme en zone de subduction, Crystalline Omphacite/Garnet Eclogite Samples enable students to calculate metamorphic density shifts, supporting the synthesis of thermodynamic models in deep subduction cycles.
Visible Foliation and Porphyroblast Textures Support the application of structural geology principles through the analysis of deformation fabrics and mineral growth sequences.
High-Contrast Facies Indicators facilitate accurate student differentiation between varying degrees of dehydration and re-equilibration in the subducting slab.

Metamorphic Minerals in Subduction Zones This reference set of metamorphic minerals helps students study the high-pressure, low-temperature (HP-LT) rock transformations characteristic of subduction zones, mapping the gradient from blueschist to eclogite facies.
Metamorphic Minerals in Subduction Zones is priced at approximately ₹525 (indicative market benchmark, incl. GST, August 2026).
Product Description
This reference set of metamorphic minerals represents the high-pressure, low-temperature (HP-LT) conditions characteristic of subduction zones, letting students study the metamorphic gradient from blueschist facies through to eclogite facies. This progression illustrates how increasing pressure and temperature along a subduction boundary transform rock mineralogy and texture. It’s a practical resource for university-level petrology and advanced secondary earth-science coursework.
