During blasting operations for fluorite in the mining area of the Amba Dongar, numerous xenoliths of different rock types were brought to the surface from time to time in the last several years. The present study is based on the uncovered fenitized gneissic xenoliths in sövite exposed in the mining area. With the aid of detailed petrography and BSE images it is documented that protolith gneiss has undergone extensive K-metasomatism. Details of these processes are discussed with the help of BSE images, mineral analyses and geochemistry of these rocks.
