Abstract
Albite breaks down to jadeite and quartz at high pressure, and reacts with water at low temperature to give analcime and quartz. Dry anorthite melts incongruently to corundum and liquid above 9 kb, and to grossular plus kyanite plus quartz above 20 kb. Anorthite saturated with water breaks down to a variety of assemblages involving corundum, zoisite, margarite, lawsonite and wairakite with decreasing temperature. Calcic plagioclase saturated with water breaks down to andesine plus zoisite plus kyanite plus quartz.
The sub-solidus phase equilibria for plagioclase feldspars are complicated by the frequent occurrence of micrometer intergrowths and the e-superstructure in which the chemical composition and thermodynamic functions vary across a crystal. Furthermore there are higher-order transitions even in albite and anorthite. A few pairs of coexisting plagioclases from metamorphic rocks have compositions which span a single asymmetric solvus, and some decomposition assemblages indicate that the micrometer intergrowths and e-superstructure are unstable with respect to a mechanical mixture of two plagioclases. Nevertheless, these coherent intergrowths are very persistent, and provide useful information on the cooling history of igneous and metamorphic rocks. Data obtained by crystallographic and microscopic techniques, experimental syntheses, controlled annealing, thermochemical measurements and petrogenetic observations can be interpreted in terms of solid-state theories of spinodal behavior and chemical bonding.
