... Metapelites are widespread on Sikinos and Folegandros. They occur as meter to several tens of meters-thick continuous layers and more occasionally as isolated lenses embedded into marble layers (Fig. 6). Being often strongly deformed, metapelites are generally also severely reequilibrated in the gre ...

Upper Quartzite Formation
... Quartzite Formation” occurring to the NW of studied quarries at Vila Pouca de Aguiar area [4]. It appears that Ga1, Ga2 and Zb2 rocks are enriched in SiO2 with more than 90% (91.2%, 96.0%, 90.3%, respectively) while Zb1 has 79.13%. Zb1 is the richest in Al2O3 (11.44%) and Ga2 the poorest (2.3%). For ...

... cleavage that do not meet at 90°, The cleavage tends to step rather than continuing across a smooth face. This gives the mineral a splintery appearance. The luster is usually quite bright and reflective – sparkly in fact. Amphibole generally occurs in igneous rocks with another mineral – a feldspar. ...

Mica
The mica group of sheet silicate (phyllosilicate) minerals includes several closely related materials having nearly perfect basal cleavage. All are monoclinic, with a tendency towards pseudohexagonal crystals, and are similar in chemical composition. The nearly perfect cleavage, which is the most prominent characteristic of mica, is explained by the hexagonal sheet-like arrangement of its atoms.The word mica is derived from the Latin word mica, meaning a crumb, and probably influenced by micare, to glitter.
