The stability of CO 2 fluid in the Earth's mantle is restricted by the carbonation of rockforming minerals. Among those, the reaction with garnet is of particular interest because it constrains the stability of CO 2 fluid in eclogites, whose minerals have been found in the CO 2 -bearing diamonds. In this work, we determined the equilibrium boundary for the reaction Mg 3 Al 2 Si 3 O 12 (Prp) + 3CO 2 (F) = Al 2 SiO 5 (Ky) + 2SiO 2 (Coe/Qz) + 3MgCO 3 (Mgs) over the pressure interval 3-6 GPa using a multianvil press. Owing to the slow kinetics, the reaction was studied in both forward (left to right) and reverse (right to left) directions in experiments with durations extending up to 260 h. Our newly determined boundary is situated 3 GPa / 950±50 °C, 4.5 GPa / 1075±25 °C, and 6 GPa / 1250±50 °C and has the equation P(GPa) = 0.0099×T (°C) + 6.3165. The boundary crosses the This is the peer-reviewed, final accepted version for American Mineralogist, published by the Mineralogical Society of America.The published version is subject to change.
