Summary

The pyroxenite of Nero Hill has been metamorphosed under relatively low water pressure at the centre and higher water pressure at the margins. Thus a central pyroxenite consisting of diopside, hypersthene, oligoclase, garnet, and a little hornblende grades outward into a hornblende-cummingtonite amphibolite.
