Summary

Charges of Fe-tremolite, sulphur and water sealed in gold capsules and run at 600°C and 1 kb confining pressure for one month yielded talc, anhydrite, pyrite and quartz as principal mineral phases. It is concluded that in a S-rich environment talc is stabilized rather than diopside by the strong preference of Ca to form anhydrite.
