Affioramento di gneiss di Punta Muret, Perrero, Città metropolitana di Torino (Provincia di Torino), Piemonte, Italia
Small outcrop on the southwestern slope of Punta Muret.
This polymetamorphic granodioritic augen gneiss, the so-called «gneiss amygdalaires» of Vialon (1966), is characterised by an augen structure
with large (2-10 cm), polycrystalline nodules mainly made of albite, quartz and relics of K feldspar [Its main outcrops are located in the Pellice Valley and in the southern part of the Dora-Maira massif].
