The Phase Rule in Metamorphic SystemsConsider the following three scenarios:
C = 1 (Al2SiO5) F = 1 common F = 2 rare F = 3 only at the
specific P-T conditions of the invariant point

Let’s put it all together…

• What if we had staurolite and andalusite together? What conditions would that indicate?
![Page 6: The Phase Rule in Metamorphic Systems Consider the following three scenarios: C = 1 (Al 2 SiO 5 ) s F = 1 common s F = 2 rare s F = 3 only at the specific](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649d195503460f949eec32/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Metamorphic facies• P-T conditions, presence of fluids induces
different metamorphic mineral assemblages (governed by thermodynamics/ kinetics)
• These assemblages are lumped into metamorphic facies (or grades)

Aluminosilicate Minerals
Andalusite Kyanite Sillimanite
• SILLIMANITE: Orthorhombic: Octahedral Al chains (6-fold) are crosslinked by both Si and Al tetrahedra (4-fold).
• ANDALUSITE: Orthorhombic: 5-coordinated Al; Same octahedral (6-fold) chains.
• KYANITE: Triclinic: All the Al is octahedrally coordinated (6- and 6-fold).
•Clearly, changes in structure are in response to changing P and T. Result is changes in Al coordination. •Phase transformations require rebonding of Al. Reconstructive polymorphism requires more energy than do displacive transformations. Metastability of these 3 are therefore important (Kinetic factors limit equilibrium attainment).•All 3 are VERY important metamorphic index minerals.

Serpentine Minerals
• Mg3Si2O5(OH)4 minerals (principally as antigorite, lizardite, chrysotile polymorphs)
• Forms from hydration reaction of magnesium silicates– Mg2SiO4 + 3 H2O Mg3Si2O5(OH)4 + Mg(OH)2

Chlorite• Another phyllosilicate, a group of difficult
to distinguish minerals• Typically green, and the dominant and
characteristic mineral of greenschist facies rocks
• Forms from the alteration of Mg-Fe silicates (pyroxenes, amphiboles, biotite, garnets)
• Clinochlore, chamosite, pennantite, nimmite – end members• Chloritoid - Similar in appearance to
chlorite, but different 2V and relief

Prehnite-Pumpellyite
• Low-grade metamorphic minerals
• Minerals related to chlorite, form at slightly lower P-T conditions
• Prehnite is also green, pumpellyite green too, varies based on Fe content
• Prehnite + chlorite pumpellyite + quartz
![Page 17: The Phase Rule in Metamorphic Systems Consider the following three scenarios: C = 1 (Al 2 SiO 5 ) s F = 1 common s F = 2 rare s F = 3 only at the specific](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649d195503460f949eec32/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Micas• Biotite and Muscovite are also important
metamorphic minerals (muscovite often the principle component of schists)
• Phlogopite – similar to biotite, but has little iron, forms from Mg-rich carbonate deposits and a common mineral in kimberlites (diamond-bearing material)
• Sericite – white mica (similar to muscovite) – common product of plagioclase feldspar alteration at low grades
![Page 18: The Phase Rule in Metamorphic Systems Consider the following three scenarios: C = 1 (Al 2 SiO 5 ) s F = 1 common s F = 2 rare s F = 3 only at the specific](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649d195503460f949eec32/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Zeolites• Diverse group of minerals forming at lower
metamorphic grades• Framework silicas, but characteristically
containing large voids and highly variable amounts of H2O
– Name is from the greek – meaning to boil stone as the water can de driven off with heat
– Voids can acts as molecular sieves and traps for many molecules
– Diversity of minerals in this group makes a for a wide variety of sieve and trapping properties selective for different molecules

Epidote Group
• Sorosilicates (paired silicate tetrahedra)
• Include the mineral Epidote Ca2FeAl2Si3O12(OH), Zoisite (Ca2Al3Si3O12(OH) and clinozoisite (polymorph)

Staurolite• Aluminosilicate - Fe2Al9Si4O22(OH)2
• Similar structure to kyanite with tetrahedrally coordinated Fe2+ easily replaced by Zn2+ and Mg2+
• Medium-grade metamorphic mineral, typically forms around 400-500 C– chloritoid + quartz = staurolite + garnet– chloritoid + chlorite + muscovite = staurolite + biotite +
quartz + water
• Degrades to almandine (garnet at higher T)– staurolite + muscovite + quartz = almandine +
aluminosilicate + biotite + water

Metamorphic chain silicates
• Actinolite and tremolite are chain silicates derived from dolomite and quartz and common in low-mid grade metamorphic rocks
• Riebeckite and Glaucophane are also chain silicates – higher grade minerals, often a blue color
• These minerals usually lower P, higher T conditions

these regimes of P-T ‘off’ of the typical continental isotherms??

• Miyashiro (1961) initially proposed five facies series, most of them named for a specific representative “type locality” The series were:
1. Contact Facies Series (very low-P)
2. Buchan or Abukuma Facies Series (low-P regional)
3. Barrovian Facies Series (medium-P regional)
4. Sanbagawa Facies Series (high-P, moderate-T)
