Eclogite is a mafic (high iron & magnesium silicate) metamorphic rock consisting of pink or red garnet (Pyrope or Almandine) and omphacite. Omphacite is a sodium rich mineral and member of the pyroxene crystal family.
It’s colour can be just about any shade of green and is the matrix for which the garnets formed.
Other notable minerals can sometimes also be found within this crystal such as Jade, Quartz, Kyanite, Zoisite, Rutile, Dolomite, Ruby, and Sapphire.
Eclogite has only a few known localities in the world, making this an incredibly rare and valuable stone.
Norway has an abundance of this mineral but China, Germany, Austria, and the United States also have Eclogite with different sub minerals in it.
