Subduction zone metamorphism
Eclogite facies

Lawsonite remains stable up to 1080 °C and 9.4 GPa. The breakdown of lawsonite releases massive amounts of H O into the mantle that can trigger partial melting of the slab and of the overlying mantle. The breakdown reaction of lawsonite is listed below.
