Schist with coarse staurolite grains. This outcropping is approximately on the strike of the chloritoid schists (sample 7). Also contains garnet, muscovite, feldspar, and quartz. Presumed to be from the Everett Schist.
The thin section shows staurolite, biotite, muscovite (noticeable by pleochroism differences) and quartz.
This rock is from the staurolite zone in the Barrovian metamorphic sequence (higher intermediate metamorphism).
