Electrical conductivity of six ultramafic rocks (garnet-bearing peridotites and an eclogite) were investigated under known oxygen fugacity in the 670-1820 K range. Between 670 and approximately 1320 K the conductivity increases slowly and monotonically. Above 1320 K the conductivity increases sharply; an increase of 3-4 orders of magnitude is observed between 1320 and 1670. Spinel lherzolite has the lowest conductivity, and the range of conductivity values for the different rocks is considered. The differences in electrical conductivity values above 1470 K might result from varying degrees of partial melting in the rocks. Over the entire range of temperature, the conductivity values for the ultramafic rocks are lower than those reported for basalts but higher than those for single-crystal olivines.
