Notes on a Biotite-Cyanite-Cordierite-rock from the Upper Satlej Valley, N.W. Himalayas
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 March 2018
Extract
Some years ago I found in the bed of the Satlej at Wangtu, in the N.W. Himalayas, about 80 miles, as the crow flies, north-east of Simla, a boulder of the rock described in the following pages, It is composed of biotite, cyanite and cordierite, with apatite and rutile as accessory minerals.
The specimen has a specific gravity of 2.92. Its structure is holocrystalline, and its minerals show no trace of parallelism in their orientation. It is, I think, a product of contact metamorphism.
