Summary

An unusual paragenesis of chromite, nickeline, cordierite, and red-brown mica occurs in veins, pods, and schlieren in serpentinized ultramafic rocks at La Gallega and Los Jarales in Máilaga province, Spain. The chromites in this paragenesis are low-ferric, ferrous-rich aluminous chromites with exceptionally high vanadium content ranging between 1·8 and 2·9 wt % V2O3 and high zinc content ranging between 0·5 and 1·0 wt % ZnO. A comparison of chromite composition with available experimental data, together with paragenetical and textural evidence, suggests that the chromite, cordierite, and red-brown mica crystallized at magmatic temperatures between approximately 1300° and 1000°C at low oxygen fugacities and maximum pressures below 10 kb, probably near 5 kb.
