Abstract

Olivine (ol) leucitite lavas from Northeast China contain hyalophanes with contrasting Ba-zoning patterns. The hyalophanes occur: (1) in a magmatic inclusion (DZ2n), consisting of barian-titanian phlogopite + hyalophane + leucite + sodalite, and (2) as a mantle surrounding a sanidine megacryst (DZ19). Hyalophanes contain 4.6-20.2 mol.% celsian (Cn). The DZ2n hyalophane is normally zoned with respect to Ba (decreasing Ba toward rim), whereas the hyalophane mantle of megacryst DZ19 is reversely zoned. DZ2n probably crystallised from an extensively evolved (>80 wt.% crystallisation) potassic melt derived from a primitive magma chemically similar to the host, at relatively low temperatures and pressures (e.g. T-720°C P∼2 kbar). Competition with barian-titanian phlogopite for Ba, and limited Ba supply from the residual melt are the main cause for the normal Ba zonation. Sanidine megacryst DZ19 originated as a high P-T product (e.g. T > 950°C P > 15 kbar) of an evolved leucite (lc) basanite/trachybasalt genetically related to ol-leucitites. Subsequently, it was incorporated into the host ol-leucititic magma at which point it was partially resorbed and then mantled by hyalophane. An increase in KBaaf/liq values with decreasing temperature and pressure and cocrystallisation of the hyalophane mantle with Ba-free phases may have caused the unusual reverse zonation.
