Caption for Fig. DR1 (A) Photomicrograph of a rare example of glaucophane rimming omphacite in a Sivrihisar eclogite/blueschist. The garnets contain glaucophane inclusions and abundant lawsonite. (B) Completely altered eclogite consisting entirely of epidote + chlorite. In other samples, hexagonal chlorite-rich regions such as the one in the center of the photo contain relict garnet.
