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 ]

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.

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 ]
