This assemblage is similar to the highland/Southwestern Complex of rocks of Sri Lanka (which consist of granulite-facies metamorphic rocks such as garnetiferous biotite gneisses, garnet-sillimanite-biotite gneisses, calc-silicate gneisses, amphibolite and especially calciphye, charnockite and cordierite bearing gneisses), that have produced some of the world's largest alluvial gemstone deposits.
Some 1,000 square feet of garnetiferous bedrock was exposed and cleaned off.
