Title
A name given to the resource
(TMJ) Quartz-rich Metamorphic Suite -- Tanzawa Mountains, Kanto, Japan
Description
An account of the resource
The Tanzawa Mountains in Japan were created in an arc-arc collision, when the Izu-Bonin-Mariana Arc was subducted beneath the Honshu Arc. This eventually accreted into the Tanzawa Mountains. The samples in this collection were found in and around the Tanzawa Mountains. The suite includes hornfels, amphibolites, quartz diorite, granophyres, and other basaltic rocks. The samples range from fine to coarse grained. An interesting feature found on many of the samples was a flow-like swirl of minerals in the thin section, visible in XPL. The quartz diorite samples had crystalline, powdery substances on them, which were analyzed using a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The chemical compositions of the mentioned powdery substances were calcium, aluminum, silicon, and oxygen.

Description
An account of the resource
Rock Sample:
The color is mainly blue and black. The sample is aphanitic and the cross section of the sample reveals very fined grained phenocrysts (~1mm in diameter). The colors of the phenocrysts range from white, blue, black, or green.
It has rough sandy feel to it. There is some major chemical weathering. There is some white residue on the surface which has a minor reaction to Hydrochloric acid.
-Hardness = 5.5
-Streak = The dark spots on the sample had a dark-brownish to yellow streak, while the blue part of the sample did not have a streak.
Thin Section:
Oxidation is shown in the thin section. The matrix has blue swells. Some of the pyroxene crystals are very fine grained and show exhibit a "swirly" texture. The plagioclase crystals exhibit some crytsal-zoning. The sample is hypocrystalline. Others are fractured and filled in with very fine grained matrix. There are large fractures within the pyrozene crystals as well. Matrix is intergrown into coarse grained quartz.
-Quartz (40%)
-Pyroxene (25%)
-K-feldspar (20%)
-Plagioclase (15%)
-Magnification at 4x/0.10
Scanning Electron Microscope:
The blue mineral that is found through out the sample is made up of silicon, oxygen, carbon, calcium, sodium, and aluminum.

Title
A name given to the resource
(TMJ) Quartz-rich Metamorphic Suite -- Tanzawa Mountains, Kanto, Japan
Description
An account of the resource
The Tanzawa Mountains in Japan were created in an arc-arc collision, when the Izu-Bonin-Mariana Arc was subducted beneath the Honshu Arc. This eventually accreted into the Tanzawa Mountains. The samples in this collection were found in and around the Tanzawa Mountains. The suite includes hornfels, amphibolites, quartz diorite, granophyres, and other basaltic rocks. The samples range from fine to coarse grained. An interesting feature found on many of the samples was a flow-like swirl of minerals in the thin section, visible in XPL. The quartz diorite samples had crystalline, powdery substances on them, which were analyzed using a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The chemical compositions of the mentioned powdery substances were calcium, aluminum, silicon, and oxygen.

The color of the crystals within the sample is half-white and half-black in color. The internal part of the sample feels rough, but the outside layer of the sample feels more like a fine-grained. This could be due to erosion on the exterior of the sample. There are dark and white crystals that are ≤1cm in length. There are some areas of small, light green crystal blotches. Minor chemical weathering has taken place on this sample.
Thin Section:
There is micro-twinnings within some of the plagioclase crystals. There are also some large fractures within some of the coarse-sized quartz.

Title
A name given to the resource
(TMJ) Quartz-rich Metamorphic Suite -- Tanzawa Mountains, Kanto, Japan
Description
An account of the resource
The Tanzawa Mountains in Japan were created in an arc-arc collision, when the Izu-Bonin-Mariana Arc was subducted beneath the Honshu Arc. This eventually accreted into the Tanzawa Mountains. The samples in this collection were found in and around the Tanzawa Mountains. The suite includes hornfels, amphibolites, quartz diorite, granophyres, and other basaltic rocks. The samples range from fine to coarse grained. An interesting feature found on many of the samples was a flow-like swirl of minerals in the thin section, visible in XPL. The quartz diorite samples had crystalline, powdery substances on them, which were analyzed using a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The chemical compositions of the mentioned powdery substances were calcium, aluminum, silicon, and oxygen.

An account of the resource
Rock Sample:
The samples color has a white matrix with dark green phenocrysts. It is phaneritic. There is evidence of chemical weathering due to the presence of a dark brownish orange film on the sample--may be oxidation. There is a sandy smooth feeling film above the TMJ-6 tag. Phenocrysts are medium to coarse grained ranging from 0.1~1cm in length. It has a rough feel overall.
Thin Section:
There is tartan twinning on some irregular-shaped plagioclase. It is a large crystal with intergrowths and many micro-tartan twinning crystal within it. Many of the irregular shaped plagioclase have many fractures or scratches in them. There is some amphibole that intergrew into some augite.

Title
A name given to the resource
(TMJ) Quartz-rich Metamorphic Suite -- Tanzawa Mountains, Kanto, Japan
Description
An account of the resource
The Tanzawa Mountains in Japan were created in an arc-arc collision, when the Izu-Bonin-Mariana Arc was subducted beneath the Honshu Arc. This eventually accreted into the Tanzawa Mountains. The samples in this collection were found in and around the Tanzawa Mountains. The suite includes hornfels, amphibolites, quartz diorite, granophyres, and other basaltic rocks. The samples range from fine to coarse grained. An interesting feature found on many of the samples was a flow-like swirl of minerals in the thin section, visible in XPL. The quartz diorite samples had crystalline, powdery substances on them, which were analyzed using a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The chemical compositions of the mentioned powdery substances were calcium, aluminum, silicon, and oxygen.

Description
An account of the resource
Rock Sample:
The sample has black to green phenocrysts with a greenish white matrix. It has phaneritic grains with a aphanetic matrix. Phenocrysts are coarse to fined grained ranging from 0.1~1cm in size. There is a chalk like powder on the outside of the sample (white). There are deep fractures running to the center of the sample. It is likely that the sample underwent chemical weathering by oxidation. The chemical weathering is evident due to the orange brown tint. Overall the sample has a smooth weathered outside with rough gritty inside.
Thin Section:
Minerals are either medium in size. All the minerals seem to have intergrown in the quartz crystals.

Staurolite-garnet-biotite schist
Description
An account of the resource
Macroscopic: Staurolite, garnet, biotite porphyroblastic, chlorite bearing, muscovite schist. Both garnets and staurolite are idiomorphic with the former highly poikiloblastic. The foliation in the schist bends around the porphyroblastic phases indicating the porphyroblasts were formed earlier during metamorphism. Microscopic: Both thin section pictures show the texture of the fine grained biotite around garnet and staurolite phenocrysts. Thin section pictures in XPL unless otherwise noted in the title of the picuture. Thin sections are 3mm across.

Biotite-Muscovite Schist
Description
An account of the resource
Macroscopic: Biotite, muscovite schist. Parts of the outcrop are migmatic as a result of intrusion by various phases of the Port Mouton Pluton. Microscopic: Coarse grained biotite, muscovite and quartz. Thin section pictures in XPL unless otherwise noted in the title of the picuture. Thin sections are 3mm across.<br /><br />Migmatites: They are created when a metamorphic rock spartially melts, and then that melt recrystallizes. This creates a mixture of the unmelted metamorphic sections with the recrystallized section.
