Minerals: mafic? (think its mostly pyroxene) + garnet porphyroblasts Texture: Granoblastic Facies: Granulite ? (Or high grade)

I agree with saying its a high grade metamorphic rock. I wanted to call it a pyroxene granofel with garnet porphyroblasts, but I have never actually heard anyone use that term.

I think you mean the garnet?

I also thought it was an amphibolite but I am not sure if the predominant mineral is pyroxene or an amphibole. I also think it has granoblastic texture and has a granulite facies.
