This paper reports the discovery of micrometer-size anhydrous K-cymrite in clinopyroxene and garnet of a garnet-pyroxene rock and in clinopyroxene of a dolomitic marble from Kumdy-Kol in the Kokchetav Massif, Kazakhstan. Anhydrous K-cymrite always occurs as composite inclusions consisting of K-cymrite °Ó siliceous glass °Ó cristobalite / quartz °Ó phengite. K-cymrite could have been formed from a hydrous K-aluminosilicate partial melt along the prograde path, served as a temporal water carrier and later underwent dehydration in dry conditions. | ||
