32 Conclusions Samples from Dagsås (LL1101) and Ljungby (LL1103), located in the Varberg granulite gneiss domain, are the most suitable materials as aggregates for roads (bounded road layers) and railways, while samples from Fridhemsberg (LL1108) and Töresjö (LL1109), located in the Skene migmatite gneiss domain, are the least suitable. Knobesholm (LL1104) and Vräk (LL1111) are suitable as aggregates for bounded road layers. Features in the field that can be used as prospecting tools for rocks with good technical properties are: the absence of 1) a pronounced stretching lineation 2) high grade metamorphic banding (segregation of light and dark minerals) and 3) abundant veining. Features, on a microscopic scale, which indicate a high-t (granulite) metamorphism and result in good technical properties are: 1) low biotite content, 2) reddish brown biotite, 3) brownish green hornblende, 4) antiperthitic feldspars, 5) pyroxene, and 6) the absence of titanite and tartan twinning in feldspars. A high content of biotite and the occurrence of biotite as individual grains, aggregates and/or bands parallel to present foliation correlate with poor technical values. 32
33 Conclusions Low mean grain size and high perimeter (total, amphibole + pyroxene and opaque minerals + garnet) show a good correlation to low LA values. A high proportion of very fine (c. 40 % < 0.5 mm) or fine grained materials (80 % < 1mm) seem to contribute to good LA values. The frequency of fractures has limited influence on the LA value where less fractures often result in better technical values. Samples with high density tend to have a lower LA/A N ratio. 33
