Photomicrographies of pyroclastic rocks from the Las Filipinas larimar mine in Barahona Province in southwestern Dominican Republic: (A,B) the contact of the charred tree trunks with strongly transformed pyroclastic rock. Note the wood tissue replaced with calcite (Cal), while pyroclastic rocks composed of calcite (Cal) with garnets (Grt) showing anomalous anisotropic properties, probably inherited from host calcite; (C,D) Strongly altered pyroclastic rock composed of calcite (Cal), garnets (Grt) and magnetite (Mag).
