Archean extreme high-grade metamorphism, with sapphirine+quartz, spinel+quartz and osumilite-bearing assemblages.
850 - 1000 Β°C / 7-9 kb at Tula Mts.

The Napier Mountains are a group of close-set peaks, the highest being Mount Elkins, at about 2,300 meters above sea level. This mountain range is located in Enderby Land, in the claimed Australian Antarctic Territory, East Antarctica. [Wikipedia]

β“˜ Khmaralite (TL)
Formula: (Mg,Al,Fe)16[(Al,Si,Be)12O36]O4
Description: Khmaralite forms a foliated aggregate nearly 3 cm across of parallel tablets. The tablets are flattened parallel to {010} and a few grains show these faces. Individual tablets range from 1 to 7 mm across and from 0.5 to 4 mm thick as seen in thin section. Khmaralite is most closely associated with sillimanite, surinamite, musgravite, garnet, and biotite,. The textures of the aggregates, particularly the relatively fine grain size (few mm to nearly 3 cm) and preferred orientation, suggest a metamorphic origin. Grew proposed granulite-facies conditions of β‰₯ 820 Β°C, β‰₯ 10 kbar after intrusion. Khmaralite and associated minerals are inferred to have formed by metamorphism of pre-existing pegmatitic Be phases.

Geochronology

Mineralization age: Early/Lower Ordovician : 482 Β± 3 Ma

Important note: This table is based only on rock and mineral ages recorded on mindat.org for this locality and is not necessarily a complete representation of the geochronology, but does give an indication of possible mineralization events relevant to this locality. As more age information is added this table may expand in the future. A break in the table simply indicates a lack of data entered here, not necessarily a break in the geologic sequence. Grey background entries are from different, related, localities.
