Abstract
"True eclogite rocks are scarce in Victoria, being known only as occasional fragments that have been carried up to the surface by Tertiary volcanic eruption. The example recorded is of interest because of its simple mineral composition-- garnet and omphacite, because of the fresh state of preservation of these primary constituents, and because of the occurrence of almandine spinel in the occasional, narrow kelyphitic zones bordering some of the garnet crystals."
