Abstract/NotesAbstractHögbomite is reported from two upper-amphibolite and granulite-facies, sapphirine-bearing, Al–Mg–Fe-rich and silica-poor lens-shaped layers within the Bamble Sector, south Norway. Primary assemblages, indicating peak metamorphic conditions of 773-844°C at 7 kbar (Mg–Fe exchange thermometry), are spinel–sapphirine–biotite–gedrite, spinel–corundum–sapphirine–cordierite and orthopyroxene–biotite–cordierite–plagioclase. Högbomite formed by hydrous alteration and oxidation of primary spinel and rutile and/or ilmenite according to the generalised reaction:Suggested conditions of högbomite formation are 550–620°C and 6–7 kbar. The högbomites contain 10.2–14.7 wt.% MgO, 04).3 wt.% ZnO, 58.9–62.1 wt.% Al2O3 and 15.6-17.6 wt.% Fe as FeO. The two högbomite may belong to different polytypes, as suggested by their differing TiO2 (9.9-10.1 versus 5.7–5.8 wt. %) and calculated Fe3+ – and H2O–contents. The partitioning of Zn between spinel and högbomite is not uniform and is considered to depend upon prevailing fo2 and aH2O.
