Oxygen transport rates along lamellar boundaries in a macroperthitic feldspar have been measured using an ion microprobe. Perthite samples were exchanged hydrothermally with 18 O-enriched water at temperatures of 500° to 700°C and at a pressure of 1 kb. Step-scanning traverses along grain boundaries were made with the ion microprobe on surfaces which were cut to show interior faces of the samples. Volume diffusion profiles were determined from step-scanning traverses as well as from depth-profiles. Volume diffusion coefficients for oxygen as determined by step-scanning are given by D 0 = 8.0( +290 -7.8 ) × 10 -9 cm 2 -sec -1 and Q v = 20 ± 7 kcal-mol -1 . As determined by depth-profiling, volume diffusion coefficients are given by D 0 = 1.5( +72 -1.3 ) × 10 -8 cm 2 -sec -1 and Q v = 26 ± 3 kcal-mol -1 . The products of the lamellar boundary diffusion coefficients times the boundary widths, calculated using the volume diffusion coefficients determined by depth-profiling, are given by D 0 = 4.7( +240 -4.6 ) × 10 -6 cm 3 -sec -1 and Q b = 43 ± 7 kcal-mol -1 . The grain boundary diffusion coefficients measured for oxygen (or possibly water) in the perthite are at least 10 4 times the volume diffusion coefficients. Due to the tightness of the noncoherent lamellar boundary, these data define a lower bound to grain boundary diffusion coefficients for oxygen and perhaps other species in silicates in hydrothermal systems.
