augen

Llens-shaped crystal or crystal aggregate. The term is usually applied to feldspar augen (augengneiss). Most feldspar augen are probablyporphy-roclasts that developed from feldspar megacrysts in intrusive or high-grade metamorphic rocks by partial re-crystallisation along the rim in response to deformation
