Subduction zone could generate strong stresses especially within subducting slab and also it makes special high pressure and low temperature environments. Ergo study on blueschist is important to understand active stresses in subduction zone and in addition to reveal geofluid circulations owing to abundant hydrous phases in it. Fabric analyses of naturally and experimentally deformed blueschists were investigated to delineate its implications for seismic anisotropy and source of seismicity in subducting oceanic crust. The first subproject dealt rheological contrast of glaucophane and lawsonite in natural blueschist from the New Idria serpentinite body, Diablo Range, California. Anhedral to subhedral glaucophane shows strong crystal-preferred orientations (CPOs) with small grain size, irregular grain boundary, and high aspect ratio, indicating recovery and dynamic recrystallization possibly accommodated by dislocation creep. Euhedral to subhedral lawsonite deforms by rigid body rotation due to angular or straight grain boundary. Glaucophane-rich layer contains higher aspect ratio, lower angle to foliation, stronger CPOs, and higher seismic anisotropy of glaucophane and lawsonite than those in lawsonite-rich layer, suggesting the strain localization into the glaucophane-rich layer. On the other hand, glaucophane has higher aspect ratio, lower angle to foliation, stronger CPOs, and higher seismic anisotropy than lawsonite,
