We integrated our new data with a review of published work on the Indo-Myanmar Orogenic
Belt (IMOB) of the eastern Neotethys in Myanmar, western Yunnan (China) and Naga Hills …

Jadeitite is a relatively rare, very tough rock composed predominantly of jadeite and typically
found associated with tectonic blocks of high-pressure/low-temperature metabasaltic rocks …

The lapidary term" jade" refers to two very tough, virtually monomineralic rocks used for
ornamental carvings or gems. Both have metasomatic origins that are intimately connected …

The Mogok Metamorphic Belt is a north–south-aligned belt of mainly high-grade
metamorphic rocks and granites that extends the length of Burma (Myanmar) along the …

Jadeitite-bearing serpentinite-matrix mélange is distributed in the Caribbean (Guatemala,
Cuba, and Dominican Republic), circum-Pacific (Japan, Western USA, and Papua New …

Combined geochemistry and geochronology of the Myanmar jadeitite were determined. Bulk-
rock trace element compositions display U-shaped REE patterns with pronounced positive …

Over the past few decades a synthesis has been developed in which Southeast Asia has
been interpreted as composed of a number of continental tectonic units. There is a general …

Amphiboles have long been key players in metamorphic petrology. The concept of facies
was developed for rocks of basaltic composition (Eskola 1920, 1939; Fyfe et al. 1958), and …

In this study, we have deduced the thermal history of the subducting Neotethys from its
eastern margin, using a suite of partially hydrated metabasalts from a segment of the …

A Microsoft© Visual Basic (6.0) program, called WinAmphcal, has been developed to
calculate structural formulae of both wet‐chemical and microprobe‐derived amphibole …
