a, b XRM highlights a pervasive network of interconnected fractures. The fractures are sealed by jadeite, garnet, omphacite 2 and graphite. Albite partially replaces jadeite during exhumation. c–h Display of single mineral phases color-coded as in legend. Mineral abbreviations as in the previous figure caption, with additional Ab: albite, Gr: Graphite.
