Summary[edit]

Description

Iguana Green Granite - faulted and sheared gneiss (or migmatite) from Brazil.

Gneiss is a common high-grade, foliated metamorphic rock characterized by alternating bands of light- and dark-colored minerals. It forms by metamorphism of schists or felsic-to-intermediate intrusive igneous rocks (e.g., granite).
