What is garnet peridotite?
Garnet peridotite is a type of rock that forms in the Earth's mantle and contains a high proportion of both garnet and peridotite minerals. It is commonly found in subduction zones where oceanic plates are forced beneath continental plates. Garnet peridotite is important in understanding the processes that occur in the Earth's mantle.
What minerals are in lherzolite rock?

Where are garnet schist rocks commonly found?
