Le faciès des schistes bleus ou schistes à glaucophane (Eskola, 1929) se distingue par la présence d'une amphibole sodique, la glaucophane. La présence de lawsonite et/ou de l'association jadéïte + quartz permettent de définir des sous-faciès. La pumpellyite peut exister dans la partie la moins métamorphique de ce faciès. Les micas blancs ne sont pas des muscovites mais des phengites. La biotite et les feldspaths sont exclus. 3, record 1, French, - faci%C3%A8s%20des%20schistes%20bleus
