Passo di Caldenno, Torre di Santa Maria, Sondrio, Lombardia, Italia
A metamorphic rock sample containing asbestiform amphiboles has been studied (Vigliaturo et al., 2018).
Passo di Caldenno (2517 m) is located at the western limit of Malenco Valley. The study area is geologically rather complex, as it is located at the boundary between the Penninic Malenco unit, the largest outcrop of ultramafic rocks in the Alps, and Austroalpine nappes. Penninic and Austroalpine nappes were intruded by Oligocene felsic plutons, including the 30–32 Ma Bergell granitoids (Masino-Bregaglia) and the Tonalite di Triangia intrusion. Amphiboles occur in all major mafic lithologies of the study area, including gabbros and peridotites. Secondary amphibole-bearing assemblages, however, occur as well, mostly in mafic and ultramafic rocks, but also in carbonates, within the contact aureole surrounding the Bergell pluton.
