Summary

Description
English: This image shows muscovite schist of the lower Vadito Group. During metamorphism, large crystals (porphyroblasts) of andalusite formed, which were subsequently altered to staurolite. Individual porphyroblasts were about three centimeters across. The Vadito Group was laid down in the Pilar Basin during the Yavapai Orogeny, 1.69 billlion years ago.
