"You would not have to look long among those fissures of slaty schist without finding peptites of considerable value."

Nor does their almost universally volcanic composition favour the admission that they are the wrecks of sunken continents;--if they had originally existed as mountain-ranges on the land, some at least of the islands would have been formed, like other mountain-summits, of granite, metamorphic schists, old fossiliferous or other such rocks, instead of consisting of mere piles of volcanic matter.

The ore zone is strongly recrystallised and massive, comprising phlogopite-chlorite-tremolite-talc schist, amphibolite with lenticular quartzo-feldspathic layering and quartz-muscovite-biotite-sillimanite schist.

In an broadcast on television and the radio, Maduro congratulated the armed forces for "defeating this small group that intended to spread violence through put schist skirmishes," according to the Agence France-Presse (AFP).

The gilded schist statue presents the lady Shepenwepet II standing proudly.

Director General of Archaeological Affairs and Restoration at the museum Tarik Tawfik said that the statue of King Khafre is made of Schist. The king is depicted in a sitting position and appears to be missing the head.

The rocks formed along the suture zones are metamorphosed quartz mica schist showing anhedral stressed quartz grains embedded in the laths of coarse grained mica, mainly muscovite.

These new thick zones of mineralization occur within a quartz, biotite schist within a zone of about 200 meters long, east-west dimension, and at least 120 meters wide, north-south, and to depths similar to the historic modeled deposit.

One expert said in a report into a house in Carndonagh: "The presence of excessive amounts of Mica dust, a main mineral within schist, can be problematic when present in concrete.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF GNEISS, SCHIST AND AMPHIBOLITE

As expected, clay contents were much lower in soils derived from quartzite than from schist for the same altitude (Table 2).
