Scientific paper

The join tremolite (Tr)-pargasite (Pa) was studied at temperatures between 800 and 1150°C under water vapour pressure of 10 kbar. The results show a continuous solid solution of amphibole between the composition Tr80Pa20 and Pa100 at 800°C and 10kb. Pargasite melts incongruently and breaks down at high temperature to clinopyroxene+forsterite+spinel+L+V. A single phase amphibole with composition lying between Tr80Pa20 and nearly pure Pa, breaks down to amphibole of different composition plus other phases. The stability fields of amphibole spread toward higher temperature side with increasing pargasite content, and pargasite itself has the widest stability field. At subliquidus, the composition of amphibole coexisting with other phases becomes more pargasitic with increasing temperature. The compositions of liquid, which are formed by partial melting of amphibole of Tr40Pa60 composition (Fo-normative) under water vapour pressure of 10 kbar, are alumina-rich and Qz-normative.
