The La Scie intrusive complex comprises the Reddits Cove gabbro, the La Scie granite and the Seal Island Bight syenite, only the last being peralkaline. The syenite is a fine to medium-grained rock with mafic inclusions in places, and consisting of orthoclase, microcline, which is sometimes perthitic, rare plagioclase and less than 10% quartz, which is graphically intergrown with orthoclase; riebeckite and opaques are the only mafic constituents.
