The high-pressure synthesis of lawsonite in the MORB+H2O system

Abstract: Lawsonite is an important water reservoir in subducting oceanic crust below the amphibole dehydration depth ϳ70 km. To determine the maximum pressure stability of lawsonite in the MORBϩH 2 O system, experiments were carried out using a 1000 ton uniaxial multi-anvil apparatus (SPI-1000). Mixtures of synthetic gelϩ2wt% H 2 O were used for the starting materials with the average MORB composition. Experimental P-T conditions were T ϭ 700-900 ЊC and P ϭ 5.5-13.5 GPa. Run durations were 12 and 24 h.Lawsonite was syn… Show more

“…1). A considerable number of these studies were conducted on basalt + H 2 O systems because the basaltic crust is one of the main carriers of water in the upper parts of subducting slabs (e.g., Schmidt and Poli, 1998;Okamoto and Maruyama, 1999). In this type of system, amphibole is the most abundant hydrous mineral in the uppermost mantle, although its stability field is limited to temperatures (T ) below 700°C and pressures (P) below~2 GPa (Schmidt and Poli, 1998).…”

“…In this type of system, amphibole is the most abundant hydrous mineral in the uppermost mantle, although its stability field is limited to temperatures (T ) below 700°C and pressures (P) below~2 GPa (Schmidt and Poli, 1998). At depths beneath the amphibole stability field, lawsonite, which is stable up to 900°C at 8 GPa and 700°C at 10 GPa (Okamoto and Maruyama, 1999), represents the main reservoir of water. When a slab is cold, lawsonite may carry small amounts of water (< 0.5 wt%) to the middle depths of the upper mantle, i.e., to ~300 km (P~10 GPa) (e.g., Okamoto and Maruyama, 1999).…”

“…10. BSE images of garnet porphyroblasts and P-T paths for coesite-(a-d) and diamond-grade (e-f) metamorphic rocks from the Kokchetav massif plotted on metamorphic facies diagram (after Liou et al, 1998;Okamoto & Maruyama, 1999). The P-T stages indicated along the path of the coesite-and diamond-grade metamorphic rocks are based on petrologic data of Parkinson (2000), Theunissen et al (2007) and Hermann et al (2001), Korsakov et al (2007), respectively.…”
