A Petrographic Atlas of Ophiolite:An Example from the Eastern India–Asia Collision Zone

The states of Nagaland and Manipur are known for lush green picturesque landscape with jagged hills, bereft of birds. The sun shines here earlier than most of the Indian Republic. The foggy valleys, jhum cultivation, music and dance blend well with an assembly of rocks that have drawn attention of tourists and scientists alike across the world. The hills bordering Myanmar (Burma) within the Indian territory are lacerated with many strategic (chromite, nickel, copper and molybdenum), and precious metals (platinum, native gold and silver), besides gemstones (amber, rondingite and peridot), limestone and serpentinite in abundance.
