Orthopyroxene and clinopyroxene stand out from olivine with slightly lower relief. Orthopyroxene appears tan in plane light, and shows one or two directions of cleavage, depending on orientation. Clinopyroxene has a distinct green color in plane light. The yellow fringe around edge of interference figure is evidence that this is diopside rather than enstatite because diopside has a higher birefringence. Note large grain of clinopyroxene in circle with 1 yellow interference color, a color not seen in enstatite.
Garnet occurs in rounded grains, has very high relief in plane light and is isotropic.
Compare the texture with that of 121067. This lherzolite has a sheared or porphyroclastic texture. Both olivine and orthopyroxene show extreme effects of deformation. It is similar in many ways to the plagioclase lherzolite derived from oceanic lithosphere from Lherz. Compare this texture with that of 114282.
