Eclogites are defined as bi-mineralic, broadly basaltic rocks which have been classified into Groups A, B and C based on the chemistry of their primary mineral phases, garnet and clinopyroxene. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] The classification distinguishes each group based on the jadeite content of clinopyroxene and pyrope in garnet. [ 4 ]
It is not a single species, but is composed of multiple species and varieties. [59] Almandine garnet is the state mineral of Connecticut, [60] [61] star garnet is the state gemstone of Idaho, [62] garnet is the state gemstone of New York, [63] [64] and grossular garnet is the state gemstone of Vermont.

The Queen Garnet is a variety of plum, renowned for its deep, almost black color and high antioxidant content. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It was developed in Australia, specifically in Queensland and New South Wales and has gained for its distinctive flavor and health benefits.
Quizlet is a multi-national American company that provides tools for studying and learning. [1] Quizlet was founded in October 2005 by Andrew Sutherland, who at the time was a 15-year old student, [ 2 ] and released to the public in January 2007. [ 3 ]
Palm OS Garnet (5.4) added updated Bluetooth libraries and support for multiple screen resolutions ranging from 160x160 up to 480x320. It first shipped on the Treo 650 in November 2004. This version also introduced the Garnet moniker to distinguish it from Palm OS Cobalt 6.0.
volcanic, garnet, olivine. Samples are from the Gobi Desert, Estonia, Hawaii and the mainland United States. (1×1 cm each) [1] Sand is a granular material composed of finely divided mineral particles. Sand has various compositions but is defined by its grain size. Sand grains are smaller than gravel and coarser than silt.
Lithograph of African Free School which Garnet attended. Henry Garnet was born into slavery in Chesterville (then New Market), Kent County, Maryland, on December 23, 1815. [5] [6] "[H]is grandfather was an African chief and warrior, and in a tribal fight he was captured and sold to slave-traders who brought him to this continent where he was owned by Colonel William Spencer."
The Mid-Ocean Ridge Basalt, which makes up oceanic crust, goes through ultrahigh-pressure metamorphic process and transforms to eclogite at depth ~60 km in the subduction zones. [9] The major mineral components of eclogite include omphacite, garnet and high-pressure silica phases ( coesite and stishovite ). [ 8 ]
