THERMODYNAMICS OF WATER IN CORDIERITE AND SOME PETROLOGIC CONSEQUENCES OF CORDIERITE AS A HYDROUS PHASE

The H2O content of cordierite is often regarded as incidental to its stability, probably because cordierite has substantial fields of stability at low pressures both in wet and dry experimental systems. In this paper we show that, in contrast, the molecular water content of cordierite has profound e...
