Abstract

Potassium pargasite containing 3.19 wt. % K2O was found in a skarn from the islet of Einstödingen, Lützow-Holm Bay, East Antarctica, together with some high potassium pargasitic amphiboles. A positive correlation is shown between Fe2+/(Mg+Fe2+) and K/(K + Na(A)) ratios in pargasitic amphiboles suggesting that the increase of Fe2+ serve to stabilize high-K pargasites under the metamorphic conditions of the granulite facies.
