Abstract

The Oki metamorphic massif consists of pelitic gneiss, migmatitic gneiss, augen gneiss, amphibolite and calcareous gneiss, and this massif has a characteristic dome structure. Sillimanite and orthoclase are stable in the pelitic gneiss and this coexistence indicates the higher grade metamorphism.<br> Amphibolites can be divided into two groups:<br>(a) plagioclase-brown hornblende-clinopyroxene-orthopyroxene-quartz-ilmenite-pyrrhotite (-magnetite)<br>(b) plagioclase-brown hornblende-quartz-ilmenite (-clinopyroxene-magnetite).<br> Orthopyroxene bearing amphibolite (Group a) has higher FeO and SiO2 contents, higher FeO/(FeO+MgO) ratio and lower Fe2O3/(Fe2O3+FeO) ratio. Orthopyroxene is considered to be formed by the reaction of hornblende+quartz=orthopyroxene+clinopyroxene+plagioclase+water. In this reaction orthopyroxene can be easily formed under the Fe2+-rich environment.<br> Geological and petrographical evidences indicate that orthopyroxene-bearing amphibolite and orthopyroxene-free amphibolite are formed under same metamorphic condition, which is transitional from the amphibolite facies to the granulite facies.
