Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Scara Ruadh The brown bands between the grey gneiss are where relatively unstable crystals (such as pyroxene and olivine) normally found deep in the crust of the Earth have weathered to form other minerals (such as anthophyllite) following metamorphism and contact with water. They got there by being injected into the gneiss in the form of dykes formed from ultramafic magma - that is, magma with a very high iron and magnesium content, probably rising straight from the Earth's mantle. |
