Pelitic and semi-pelitic granulites from Namaqualand, South Africa underwent dehydration melting and developed leucosome domains in which large garnets are intimately associated with coarse-grained quartz in lobate embayments and inclusions. Local retrograde replacement of leucosome anhydrous phases by coarse biotite and/or sillimanite is not uncommon, but is far from universally developed. Also developed are distinctive skeletal or symplectic intergrowths of quartz with biotite, sillimanite ...
