  1. Eclogite

    Linked via "lithostatic stress"

    Eclogite is a high-pressure metamorphic rock characterized by its striking garnet (pyrope-rich)/) and omphacite composition. It is considered the most fundamentally dense common rock type found in the Earth's crust and uppermost mantle, often possessing a bulk density exceeding $3.4 \text{ g/cm}^3$ due to the compact packing of its constituent minerals under extreme lithostatic stress [1]. The presence of eclog…
