Abstract/NotesSummaryXenoliths of eucritic gabbros in an alpine-serpentinite body at Wairere have been altered to rodingites and xonotlite about their margins by hydrothermal metasomatism at temperatures between 430–470°C A chemical analysis and the optical properties of the xonotlite are reported, the textures of the rocks are described, and the metasomatic process is discussed.
