Abstract

Two subsilicic magnesian potassium-hastingsites (4.55 and 4.34 wt.% K2O) and one magnesian potassium-hastingsite occur in calc-silicate pods in well-layered gneisses from the transitional amphibolite- and granulite-facies terrain of a Cambrian metamorphic complex, East Antarctica. Subsilicic magnesian potassium-hastingsite is the most K-rich Ca-amphibole yet reported:
