- This combination of low temperature occurring at significant depth can only be explained in the context of plate subduction, followed by exhumation, which accounts for the rarity of this rock.
- Blueschists are schists typically found within orogenic belts as terranes of lithology in faulted contact with greenschist or rarely eclogite facies rocks.
