Abstract: | The compositions of coexisting orthopyroxene, clinopyroxene and garnet in the CaO-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2 system are fixed at any givenP andT. Reversed hydrothermal experiments over theP/T range 15–40 kb/900°–l,100° C indicate that the garnet composition is nearly constant at Py86Gr14; the Alcontent and Ca/Ca+Mg values of the pyroxenes vary significantly, however:
