TL;DR: The petrographic and mineralogic study of different rock facies on the island of Iile de Groix as discussed by the authors shows that two metamorphic episodes have affected the alkaline basic rocks and associated pelitic schists.
Abstract: The petrographic and mineralogic study of the different rock facies on ile de Groix shows that two metamorphic episodes have affected the alkaline basic rocks and associated pelitic schists. The first is represented by a zonation (west-east): II-III-II-I-II where I= eclogite facies glaucophanites (8,5 bars, 530°C), II=glaucophane-epidote-garnet facies (8 kbars, 500°C), III=greenschist facies containing blue-green amphibole (7,5 kbars, 470°C). The second metamorphic episode has partially transformed these rocks to the albite-chlorite-epidote-blue green amphibole facies (6,5 kbars, 470°C). The variations of $$P_{O_2 } $$ and $$P_{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}} {\text{O}}}$$ as they affect local assemblages is detailed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the spectral properties of the VNIR-SWIR spectral bands to discriminate the hydrothermal altered serpentinized harzburgites of Wadi Hibi area of Northern Oman Mountains and the occurrences of Ni-magnesioferrite, magnetite, pentlandite and awaruite.
