Microtextural features. Photomicrographs (plane polarized light, PPL) and BSE images of a part of the thin section of the studied sample (a) and details of inclusions in garnet (b, c, d). (a) Garnet crystals in a matrix composed of various symplectites (symp), the shape of which marks a fabric. Yet, the fine aggregates forming these symplectites are undeformed (PPL). (b) Multiple inclusions of amphibole (amp1) and epidote in garnet mantle, and inclusion-poor rim. Garnet displays irregular edges, is in contact with muscovite-plagioclase symplectite, and is rimmed by a corona of amphibole (amp3) and plagioclase (BSE image). (c) Inclusions of epidote, amphibole (amp1), sulphide (sul) and kyanite in garnet. Kyanite is surrounded by a corona of spinel and plagioclase (BSE image). (d) Inclusion of omphacite (cpx1) in garnet2 displays an irregular edge (upper side of the crystal).
