Abstract

At 750°C and a pressure of 1 kbar, an experiment was carried out simulating the contact-reaction interaction of calcite and a highly evolved fluorine-containing granite melt. The water content in the system did not exceed 10% of the dry charge mass. The possibility of interaction between magmatic melt and calcite is shown. The experimental products contain a zoned column composed of liquid phases and crystalline minerals. In the apocarbonate part, the newly formed phases are cuspidine, quartz, wollastonite, grossular, and a non-crystalline carbonate–fluoride phase LCF. The mineral assemblages in the zones of the apocarbonate part of the column vary depending on the ratio of CO2 and HF activities. In the silicate part, aluminosilicate glass, alkali feldspar, and plagioclase of variable composition were found. Silicon and fluorine are intensively transferred from the silicate to carbonate part, and a small amount of calcium is transferred in the opposite direction.
