Ziyao writes:
From the MetBul:

The specimen has a coarse grained gabbroic texture (grainsize up to ~3.5 mm), but with some much finer grained regions. The sample is composed predominantly of exsolved pigeonite and calcic plagioclase together with accessory silica polymorph, Ti-chromite, ilmenite, troilite, zircon, and minor secondary barite. Both pyroxene and plagioclase occur as polygranular clusters, and pyroxene consists of irregular, blebby, non-lamellar grains of exsolved augite within host orthopyroxene.
