... Amphibole is one of the representative minerals in the middle to lower crust that has a marked influence on the rheological characteristics of the continental crust (Aspiroz et al., 2007;Christensen and Mooney, 1995;Gao et al., 1999;Tatham et al., 2008). As amphibole is also an elastically anisotropic mineral (Brown and Abramson, 2016;Ko and Jung, 2015), LPO of amphibole may contribute notably to the seismic anisotropy of the middle to lower crust (Cao et al., 2010;Kim and Jung, 2019;Ko and Jung, 2015;Liu and Cao, 2023;Tatham et al., 2008;Wang et al., 2023). Recent experimental studies have classified LPOs of amphibole into four types (type-I, II, III, and IV) and reported that temperature, differential stress, and shear strain during deformation may govern the LPO of amphibole (Kim and Jung, 2019;Ko and Jung, 2015). ...

... It has been suggested that the processes of Nb-Ta mineralization were closely related to early Palaeozoic magmatic-metamorphic events 46 . The presence of mineral inclusions with Nb (columbite-(Fe), samarskite-(Y)) in corundum suggests that melting and hydrothermal fluid processes have changed the physico-chemical character and led to Nb and Ta precipitation in high-temperature metamorphic gneiss 44 . Gold-bearing quartz veins are exposed in this area, which are controlled by regional ductile shear zones and brittle faults 43 . ...
