Lew Ashwal of U. Witwatersrand died this week. Over decades, his scholarship helped shape modern thinking on magmatic processes and global crustal evolution (from Grant Bybee).
I remember Lew very patiently helping a young geochemist (myself) understand why mountains made of anorthosite were such a difficult and interesting problem to solve.

The permit was granted to #Greenland Anorthosite #Mining, which is developing a site in western Greenland. The company is backed by French investment firm the Jean Boulle Group & state investment funds in both Greenland & #Denmark.
#Anorthosite—a white rock composed mainly of aluminium, micro silica, & calcium—is similar to the material brought back by #NASA's Apollo missions. #GAM plans to ship crushed anorthosite to the fibreglass industry, where it could replace kaolin as a sustainable input. -

Next day went to the South Harris Meta-igneous Complex.
Garnet amphibolite, (metagabbro) and #pseudotachylite.
Fresh #anorthosite has distinctive mauve colouration but weathers to white/pale cream, occasionally showing fine deformation banding.

Garnet replaced by symplectites of clinopyroxene, orthopyroxene, spinel, and plagioclase in a mafic layer within anorthosite, Sognefjord, Norway (Caledonian Upper Jotun Nappe).
