Abstract—

Natural serpentine was experimentally recrystallized in the presence of chromite, corundum, and carbonatite as sources of Cr, Al, and Ca, respectively, at P = 5 GPa and T = 1300°C using a BARS multi-anvil high-pressure apparatus. The experimental products contained synthesized mineral assemblages corresponding to those of natural garnet peridotites. Electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) of the garnet indicates that its grains are clearly zoned, first of all, in Ca distribution. The garnet grains exhibit a zoned distribution of #Ca = 100Ca/(Ca + Mg) of two types: (i) a systematic prograde increase from the cores of the seemingly homogeneous grains to their rims and (ii) a drastic change in Ca# with the transition from the darker to paler domains of the grains. The compositional zoning apparently resulted from quantitative changes in the Ca, Al and Cr quantitative proportions in the crystallization area under the effect of the H2O-rich (H2O/CO2 > 65) fluid. The quantitative ratio of these elements is a key factor at the crystallization of peridotitic garnets typical of different peridotite varieties.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

The authors thank A.V. Bobrov for inviting us to contribute to the special issue of The Geochemistry International. We also thank two anonymous reviewers for valuable and constructive criticism. The analytical part of this study, which was aimed at analyzing the chemical composition of phases, was carried out at the Center for Collective Use for Multielemental and Isotopic Studies of the Siberian Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences.

Funding

The high-pressure experiments were conducted according to the state assignment of the institute of geology and mineralogy of the Siberian Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences. Garnet crystallization was modeled by N.V. Sobolev under project 19-17-00128 of the Russian Science Foundation.
