A summary review of published information as well as of new data on the geological-petrographical and petrochemical peculiarities of amphibolites from the Ukrainian shield (USh) was carried out. Entry. Precambrian аmphibolites are widely spread within the territory of Ukrainian shield in the metamorphic complexes of different composition, stratigraphic position and age. Brief geological essay. Аmphibolites make stratum-shaped, rarely lens-shaped and dike-shaped bodies, sills, sheets of infinite thickness (0,n – n ´ 100 m). Mineralogical and petrographical features. Typical paragenesis of amphibolites is Hb + Pl. Plagioclase, pyroxene-containing and garnet- containing amphibolites are distinguished among them by mineral composition. Plagioclase amphibolites predominate while pyroxene-containing ones are less presented. Garnet amphibolites are spread in the USh territory ingsignificantly although being described in many areas. Amphiboles in amphibolites belong to the calcium group. Their chemical composition corresponds to magnesian differences of pargasite-gastingsite and hornblende sequences. Pyroxenes are represented by relict grains. Plagioclase corresponds mostly with andesine. The composition of garnet is grossular-almandine. Garnets from amphibolites of most eroded Dniester-Bug and Azov megablocks have a high content of pyrope component (15-28%), which testifies to the high pressure while crystallization and is typical for areas of granulite metamorphism. Petrochemical features. By average composition USh amphibolites are close to each other as well as to the amphibolites of other world regions. Amphibolites under investigation belong to tholeiitic petrochemical series of normal alkalinity according to their composition. Both volcanic (tholeiitic basalts) and plutonic (gabbro) rocks were proved to be the protoliths for studied amphibolites.

Key words: amphibolite, Ukrainian shield, petrochemistry , amphibole, garnet, tholeiitic basalt.
