Large-scale metamorphic graphite deposit, consisting of stratiform, lensoid and hook-shaped graphite bodies, occurring in multiple layers that are strongly controlled by folding. Single layers are up to 1000 m long, and 4 to 40 m thick. They are concordant to host rock, dip at 50° to 60° and usually trend EW, but locally change to NE and NW directions. The primary deposit minerals exhibit gneissic structure and lepidoblastic texture.
