Structural and Compositional Features of Garnet-Containing Samples Synthesized in a System with Samarium at High Pressure and High Temperature

Abstract
A distinctive feature of garnets associated with diamonds is specific containing of “light” rare earth elements. In the paper, the garnet-containing samples obtained at high pressure and high temperature in the system introduced with samarium (Sm) are studied. The experiments are carried out using a multianvil high-pressure apparatus of the “split-sphere” type (BARS) at a pressure of 5 GPa and a temperature of 1300 °С. The accuracy of measuring the pressure and temperature is ± 0.2 GPa и ± 25 °С, respectively. As a result, pyrope grains are synthesized with a CaO content no higher than 0.15 wt.% and Cr2O3 concentration within the range of 3.61-7.55 wt.%. The garnets are characterized by the stable presence of an impurity in the form of the Sm constituent. The garnets contain a significant amount of olivine inclusions. Crystals of the synthesized spinel are observed mainly in the interstices. This study demonstrates that the interaction of the components in the serpentine — chromite — corundum — Sm system leads to the crystallization of pyrope garnet, which forms large intergrowths of individual grains. The zoning observed in garnet is due to the transfer of components by fluid during the experiment. It is concluded that the Sm content in garnet can significantly increase depending on its content in the system.
