Garnet Amphibolite: Properties & Uses by sitrakaalifa is a document available to read on EtoBox.

Garnet amphibolite is a dark, coarse-medium grained metamorphic rock primarily composed of amphiboles, formed under high pressure and temperature conditions. It is found in a former copper mine near Santiago de Compostela, Spain, and is characterized by its banded texture and mechanical properties suitable for engineering applications. The rock has been used extensively in construction, particularly in the old town of Santiago, due to its strength and low permeability.
