Russia, Amur region, Haikta river valley, Berezite gold mine. Porphyry biotite-hornblende granodiorites. Granodiorites form a large Haiktinsky massif. A characteristic feature of granodiorites is the greenish color of plagioclase and the rocks themselves, due to the processes of chlorination, epidotization and carbonatization, accompanied by co-securitization and seritization of plagioclase.
