SOVA2 [1]

Explanation:

Serpentine

  • Formation: it forms through serpentinization, a geological low-temperature metamorphic process where low-silica mafic and ultramafic rocks are oxidized and hydrolyzed with water into serpentinite.
  • Characteristics: rich in magnesium and water, light to dark green, greasy-looking and slippery feeling. It can resist the transfer of heat. A source of asbestos, architectural stone, ornamental stone, gem material

Green Schist

  • Formation: they form by regional metamorphism of mafic igneous rocks through depth of burial, and proximity to batholiths.
  • Characteristics: The green is due to abundant green chlorite
  • Minerals present: actinolite and epidote mainly, but they can also include quartz, orthoclase, talc, carbonate minerals, and amphibole.

Basalt Pillow

  • Formation: it forms when lava of basaltic compositions erupted underwater. The rapid cooling of the lava forms the pillow-shaped bodies.
  • Characteristics: they are volcanic igneous rocks, very dark, almost black color.
  • Minerals present: Basalt has a lower percentage of silica and a higher percentage of iron and magnesium than other volcanic rocks.

Umber

  • Formation: it develops in Cyprus massive sulfide deposits.
  • Characteristics: is not one precise color, but a range of different colors, from medium to dark, from yellowish to reddish to grayish depending on the iron oxide and manganese in the clay
  • Minerals present: contains iron oxide and manganese oxide and sulfide precipitates like pyrite.
