Garnet peridotite is a coarse-grained, ultra mafic igneous rock which forms at extreme depths within the [Earth's] upper mantle, over 40 km in depth. As such, the rock is composed of high pressure, high temperature forming minerals such as olivine which gives the rock an [overall] green colouration of varying shades. 3, record 1, English, - garnet%20peridotite
