The structure of metadiabases is granoblastic, nematogranoblastic, in places xenomorphic-granular, gabbroic and panidiomorphic. The main rock-forming minerals in the rock samples (in %) are: plagioclase (24-49), chlorite (14-31), actinolite (1-23), sporadically observed quartz, potassic feldspar, epidote, biotite.
