Abstract

Breakdown reaction of natural garnet was studied by an in situ x-ray observation using an MA8-type multi-anvil apparatus up to about 32 GPa. Natural garnet with a composition (Mg0. 72Fe0. l7Ca0. 11) 3Al2Si3O12 breaks down at a pressure between 24 and 27 GPa to a mixture of sub-aluminous orthorhombic silicate perovskite, stishovite, Al-rich phase with unknown structure, and possibly CaSiO3 perovskite. The unreacted garnet was observed even after heating the sample at 31. 7 GPa and 2000 K for 6000 sec. This result implies that the transition rate of the garnet is lower than that of Al-free system such as olivine and pyroxene.
