Name(s) in local language(s):
Eklogitaufschluss, Forchheim, Pockau, Erzgebirge, Sachsen, Deutschland
Eclogites (associated with garnet lherzolites and garnet pyroxenites) within Precambrian gneisses at the boundary zone between Kupferberg sequence and Reichsdorf sequence (PreΓnitz series/FlΓΆha syncline).
Peak metamorphism conditions : 700-800 Β°C/>13-16 kb.
Quartz pseudomorphs after coesite inclusions in omphacite and garnet are frequent.
