granofels A little-used name for a massive granoblastic metamorphic rock, consisting of equant grains of quartz and feldspar, hence lacking a foliation. Minor mafic minerals consist of pyroxene and garnet. The anhydrous mineral assemblages of such rocks are produced under the high-grade, anhydrous granulite facies conditions found at the base of the crust.
