    Metamorphic facies is a classification system first introduced by Pentti Eskola in 1920 to classify particular metamorphic mineral assemblages that are stable under a range of P-T conditions. [ 54 ] [ 55 ] [ 1 ] Before the mid-1970s, geologists utilized the metamorphic facies classification to investigate metamorphic rocks and determined their ...

  9. Tremolite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tremolite

    Tremolite is an indicator of metamorphic grade since at high temperatures it converts to diopside. Tremolite occurs as a result of contact metamorphism of calcium and magnesium rich siliceous sedimentary rocks and in greenschist facies metamorphic rocks derived from ultramafic or magnesium carbonate bearing rocks .
