Россия, Приморский край, полуостров Краббе, скала "Спящий дракон". Опорное обнажение, разрез гранитизированных габбро сусловского комплекса. Гранитизация с образованием гнейсовидных полосчатых гибридных пород с плагиоклаз(андезин)-роговообманково-биотиткварцевыми парагенезисами и реликтовой апогаббровой структурой (вплоть до образования мигматитов с преобладанием плагиоклаза и кварца в лейкосоме).

Russia, Khabarovsk Territory. Stock diorite porphyrites. Butakano-Churkinsky complex. Greenish-gray and dark gray with a greenish tint porphyry rocks with a different number of plagioclase phenocrysts in the microcrystalline bulk consisting of a plagioclase sheet, chlorinated biotite flakes and hornblende. Plagioclase phenocrysts are represented by zonal andesine tablets, sometimes albitized along cracks. The hornblende, also present in phenocrysts, is represented by idiomorphic grains 1 × 4 mm in size.
