Abandoned quarry in suevite and impact breccias containing heavily shocked biotite-plagioclase and amphibolite fragments and glass bombs (shock pressure: 16-20 GPa). Rutile is associated with two other TiO2 polymorphs: TiO2II (alpha-PbO2 structure) and monoclinic TiO2 (akaogiite, with baddeleyite-type structure).

Detailed Mineral List:

ⓘ Akaogiite (TL)
Formula: TiO2
Type Locality:
ⓘ Diamond
Formula: C
Colour: Grey, dark green, yellowish.
Description: Impact diamonds in glass bombs and gneiss elemnts of the suevite. Diamonds appear as thin pseudo-hexagonal plates (up to 100 µm) : they have formed by displacive phase transformation in solid state (martensitic or diffusion process) from graphite.
ⓘ Graphite
Formula: C
Description: Residual in diamonds.
ⓘ Ilmenite
Formula: Fe2+TiO3
ⓘ Rutile
Formula: TiO2
Description: Rutile is associated with two other TiO2 polymorphs : - TiO2 (alpha-PbO2 structure) with pink internal reflections - TiO2 (Baddeleyite structure P21/c) with intense blue internal reflections and reflectivity much higher than rutile TiO2 with ZrO2 structure forms fine-grained polycrystalline monophase grains surrounded by shock-twinned ilmenite and rutile, or single grains rimmed by rutile, alpha-PbO2 TiO2, ilmenite and titanite.
ⓘ Titanite
Formula: CaTi(SiO4)O
