Gneiss di pegmatite
Questa roccia chiara è formata da feldspato bianco, cristalli di quarzo grigi, mica argentea e pochi cristalli di tormalina nera.
Si è formata circa 270 milioni di d’anni fa, quando roccia fusa è penetrata nelle formazioni di micascisti e paragneiss.
Durante il raffreddamento molto lento, in regioni profonde della crosta terrestre si sono formati minerali a grana grossa, le pegmatiti.
Molto più tardi, durante l’orogenesi alpina, circa 80 milioni di anni fa, le rocce furono deformate dando origine alla tipica scistosità

Pegmatite gneiss
This light rock is made up of white feldspar, gray quartz crystals, silvery mica and a few black tourmaline crystals.
It was formed about 270 million years ago, when molten rock penetrated the micaschist and paragneiss formations.
During very slow cooling, coarse-grained minerals, pegmatites, were formed in deep regions of the Earth's crust.
Much later, during the Alpine orogeny, about 80 million years ago, the rocks were deformed giving rise to the typical schistosity
