Description
     A nondescript rock, easily confused with greenschist, phyllite, and chlorite schist. But in this image we can more clearly see the schistose nature of the rock. The surface of the rock cuts through the foliation at an angle so that the chlorite cyrstal faces are up, and reflecting light.
