Abstract
We report abundances of major trace and volatile elements in an orthopyroxenite vein cutting a sub-arc, mantle-derived, spinel harzburgite xenolith from Kamchatka. The orthopyroxenite contains abundant sulfides and is characterized by the presence of glass (formerly melt) both interstitially and as inclusions in minerals, comparable with similar veins from the West Bismarck arc. The glass formed by quenching of residual melts following crystallization of abundant orthopyroxene, amphibole, and minor olivine and spinel. The interstitial glass has a low-Ti, high-Mg# andesite composition, with a wide range of H2O and S contents but more limited F and Cl variations. We calculate trace element partition coefficients using mineral and glass data, including those for halogens in amphibole, which agree with experimental results from the literature. Despite having a similar, high-Mg# andesite composition, the orthopyroxene-hosted glass inclusions usually contain much more H2O and S than the interstitial glass (4–7 wt% and ∼2,600 ppm, respectively). The initial vein-forming melts were oxidized, recording oxygen fugacity conditions up to ∼1.5 log units above the fayalite–magnetite–quartz oxygen buffer. They intruded the sub-arc mantle lithosphere at ≥1,300°C, where they partially crystallized to form high-Mg# andesitic derivative melts at ca. 1,050–1,100°C. Comparison with literature data on glass-free orthopyroxenite veins from Kamchatka and the glass-bearing ones from West Bismarck reveals fundamental similarities indicating common parental melts, which were originally produced by low-degree melting (≤5%) of spinel harzburgite at ≥1,360°C and ≤1.5 GPa. This harzburgite source likely contained ≤0.05 wt% H2O and a few ppm of halogens. Volatile evolution inferred from glass compositions shows that (i) redox exchange between S6+ in the original melt and Fe2+ in the host mantle minerals, together with (ii) the formation of an S-bearing, (H2O, Cl)-rich hydrothermal fluid from the original melt, provides the conditions for the formation of abundant sulfides in the orthopyroxenites during cooling. During this process, up to 85% of the original melt S content (∼2,600 ppm) is locally precipitated as magmatic and hydrothermal sulfides. As such, melts derived from spinel harzburgite sources can concentrate chalcophile and highly siderophile metals in orthopyroxenite dykes and sills in the lithosphere.
Introduction
The term boninite is used to characterize mantle-derived magmas of magnesian, basaltic andesite, and andesite compositions (≥52 wt% SiO2 and ≥8 wt% MgO in the most primitive end-members), which have distinctively low-TiO2 (≤0.5 wt%) and alkali (≤2 wt% Na2O + K2O) contents (; ). Although these two compositional proxies are believed to trace depleted mantle sources, the term boninite covers a continuum of magma compositions and conditions of melt generation (). This issue was partly addressed by using a CaO/Al2O3 discriminant of 0.75, believed to primarily indicate the transition from spinel lherzolite to spinel harzburgite sources consequent to the elimination of clinopyroxene from the residue (). This threshold distinguishes high-Ca (CaO/Al2O3 > 0.75) from low-Ca boninites (LCBs; CaO/Al2O3 < 0.75). A more recent classification by connects clinopyroxene saturation or undersaturation during mantle melting to the SiO2 enrichment of boninites, distinguishing low-SiO2 boninites (lherzolite source) from high-SiO2 boninites (harzburgite source) (; ; ).
Magmas classified as boninites (particularly LCBs) are relatively rare rock types and are usually found at convergent plate margins. All LCBs are depleted in moderately incompatible heavy rare-earth elements (HREEs), which contrast with frequent, although variable, enrichments in the highly incompatible large-ion lithophile elements (LILE) or light REEs (LREEs), often producing primitive mantle-normalized, U-shaped patterns. The canonical views imply that these signatures originate from partial melting of prior melt-depleted mantle sources at low pressure (≤2 GPa), triggered by the ingress of a mobile component (“flux-melting”) derived by the devolatilization and/or partial melting of subducted oceanic lithosphere (“slab”; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ). Elevated H2O and halogen contents in some boninites, found either as lavas (; ) or as quenched melts in mantle rocks (sub-arc peridotites; ; ; ), are consistent with the critical involvement of a volatile-rich, slab component.
The classical models of boninite petrogenesis consider the two end-members (i.e., high Ca–low SiO2 and low Ca–high SiO2) as being formed within a continuum where mantle melting proceeds within the clinopyroxene stability field and possibly extends beyond the exhaustion of this mineral in the residues, and wherein orthopyroxene melts incongruently (e.g., ). All of these models are based on the inversion of boninite chemical characteristics to infer the nature of their respective mantle sources. More recently, however, new information has been gained from direct detailed studies of mantle peridotites from the Kamchatka (, ) and West Bismarck (Papua New Guinea; ) arcs, both containing sulfide-bearing orthopyroxenite veins, which in the case of the second locality are characterized by the presence of sulfide-bearing glass. It has been shown that these veins formed from LCB magmas, producing high-Mg# (with Mg# = Mg/[Mg + Fet], where Fet indicates all Fe treated as Fe2+) andesitic derivatives through fractional crystallization (, ; ). Petrological modeling was used to argue that low-degree (≤5%), partial melting of refractory (prior melt-depleted) spinel harzburgite can occur as an independent, second-stage event rather than in a melting continuum (). Aggregating low-volume harzburgite-derived melts to a larger batch of lherzolite-derived liquids (i.e., implying elevated total melting degrees) leads to major element compositions of the bulk magmas, which are significantly distinct from those produced through a low-degree, second-stage melting process of harzburgite only (; ; ; ).
A fundamental question linked to our understanding of LCB petrogenesis concerns highly and moderately incompatible element concentration processes during melt generation in the mantle, such as for some volatiles or Fe3+, respectively. For example, assuming a low-degree, second-stage melting process, the spinel harzburgite sources of the parental melts forming West Bismarck orthopyroxenite veins should only contain 0.01–0.05 wt% H2O (). Such low abundances overlap those expected in the mantle sources of mid-ocean ridge basalts (; ) and are thus difficult to reconcile with a flux-melting process for generating these LCBs. However, the behavior of other volatiles such as halogens (F and Cl) and sulfur (S) during low-degree, second-stage melting processes is poorly constrained. One fundamental issue is the sulfide saturation state and how it evolves from mantle sources to magma emplacement. Second-stage melting has notably been proposed as key for triggering sulfide undersaturation during melt generation in the mantle, allowing for the chalcophile and highly siderophile element abundances to concentrate in the evolving melts during the early stages of crystal fractionation (; ). Regarding the sulfide-rich nature of orthopyroxenite veins, a range of 2–3 orders of magnitude was estimated for oxygen fugacity conditions (fO2), extending from −1 to +1.5 log units relative to the fayalite–magnetite–quartz (FMQ) oxygen buffer (−1≤ΔlogfO2[FMQ]≤+1.5; ). This fO2 range typically corresponds to the transition from S2- to S6+ in silicate melts (), which leaves considerable uncertainties on the real nature and extent of sulfur transport in LCBs.
In the first article of this two-part study, we report a detailed account of the abundances of major and lithophile trace elements and volatiles (H2O, F, Cl, and S) in a sulfide- and glass-bearing orthopyroxenite vein cutting a sub-arc mantle xenolith from Kamchatka. We compare the results to those from and , with an emphasis on volatile behaviors (H2O, F, and Cl) and the evolution of the sulfide saturation state. In the second article, these results will be extended to new analytical data for vein sulfide compositions, including major base metals as well as chalcophile and highly siderophile trace elements.
Materials and Methods
Electron-Probe Micro-analysis
Major element compositions of silicate minerals and glasses were determined in a polished thick (∼120 μm) section by wavelength-dispersive (WDS) electron-probe micro-analysis (EPMA) using a CAMECA SX100 instrument at the Research School of Earth Sciences at the Australian National University (ANU, Australia), and a JEOL 8530-F field-emission instrument at the Institute of Earth Sciences of the University of Lausanne (UNIL, Switzerland). Mineral analyses were performed at an accelerating voltage of 15 kV and a sample current of 20 nA (focused beam routine). Glass analyses were performed with a defocused beam (5–10 μm) and at a reduced sample current of 2–8 nA, with Na and K analyzed first with reduced counting times to minimize the loss or migration of alkali metals. Sulfur was the last element determined during glass analyses at ANU, using two spectrometers (PET and LPET) and a sample current of 100 nA. Counting times at ANU were 5–10 s on the background, and 120 s (S), 20 s (Cr and Ni), 15 s (Ca and Ti), and 10 s for all other elements on peak. Counting times at UNIL were 5–10 s on the background and 10–20 s on peak for Na and K, and 15 and 30 s for all other elements. Matrix effects were corrected using Phi (r) z modeling available on Peak Sight© software from CAMECA™ at ANU and using the Armstrong PRZ oxide correction at UNIL. The positions of the element peaks were checked at least every 10 analyses. Mineral and glass (VG-2; ) standards were analyzed either daily or at the start and end of each analytical session to estimate analytical drift, which was negligible. Major element maps were collected at ANU at an accelerating voltage of 15 kV and an increased sample current of 40 nA. Some of the maps were collected with a Bruker™ energy-dispersive spectrometer (EDS) coupled to the SX100 instrument.
Amphibole analyses at UNIL were performed with a defocused beam (10 μm) at an increased sample current of 40 nA, and with counting times of 5 s (background) and 10 s (peak) for Cr, 10 and 20 s for Ca, Na, and K, and 15 and 30 s for all other elements, except for halogens. Fluorine and chlorine analyses in amphibole were performed using a method similar to that described in , with F being simultaneously analyzed on a TAP and two TAPL spectrometers to increase counting times and avoid Fe Lα tail overlapping on F Kα. The total counting times were 300 s for F and 100 s for Cl, both on peak and background. This analytical protocol resulted in a significant decrease of the detection limits (down to ∼100 ppm for F and ∼30 ppm for Cl on the JEOL 8530-F instrument) relative to a conventional setup (typically 650–800 ppm for F and 200–250 ppm for Cl). Primary standards used for peak positioning and intensity calibration were F-phlogopite for F (9.02 wt% F) and scapolite for Cl (1.43 wt% Cl). The calibration was tested daily against VG2 basaltic glass secondary standard (220 ± 66 F and 306 ± 13 Cl; ) and mantle-derived vein amphibole from Kamchatka, for which both EPMA and secondary-ion mass spectrometry data have already been reported (e.g., with F ranges between ∼1,500 and 5,000–6,000 ppm; ).
The same analytical protocol as for amphibole was used to analyze F in glass with a 10–20 μm beam and matrix effects corrected using compositions previously acquired with the glass routine described before. No halogen loss, either through devolatilization or migration from below the beam within the glass, was observed during those analyses, demonstrating that the method is valid for the glass compositions in this study (Supplementary Figure S1).
Scanning Electron Microscopy
Back-scattered electron (BSE) images and semi-quantitative phase analyses at high spatial resolution were acquired using a Tescan MIRA II LMU field-emission scanning electron microscope (SEM) at UNIL. In situ analyses were performed on this instrument by EDS using a PentaFET 3x X-ray detector. BSE images were acquired at a working (sample) distance of 9 mm, an accelerating voltage of 20 kV, and a sample current of ∼0.5 nA, allowing a spatial resolution (spot size) of ∼5 nm. EDS analyses were performed at a working distance of 20–23 mm and with an increased sample current of 0.9–1.3 nA to maximize count rates, leading to a spatial resolution of 6–7.5 nm. Acquisition parameters included an energy step of 20 eV, a process time of 5 s to increase the signal-to-background ratio and spectral resolution, and an acquisition time of 1 min per analysis. Data treatment was made using the Oxford Instruments AZtec software packaging.
Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry
Lithophile trace element abundances in vein minerals and glass were determined in the thick section by laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICPMS) at ANU. This system comprises a UV (λ = 193 nm) excimer laser (Lambda Physik CompEx 110) and an ANU-designed HelEx ablation cell coupled to an Agilent 7700x quadrupole ICPMS. Analyses were performed with a laser set at a 5-Hz pulse rate, 29.5 kV, 50 mJ, and using 50 or 100 μm beam diameters. For each laser ablation run, ∼25 s were counted on the carrier gas (background) followed by ∼35 s for signal. The NIST 610 glass standard was used for calibration (), with 29Si chosen as the internal standard (with the abundances determined by EPMA). The accuracy and precision of the method were assessed by calculating 1σ RSD from replicate analyses of BCR-2G reference material during the runs (; ). For each analysis, we carefully avoided the ablation of inclusions, exsolutions, or cracked areas by optical checks prior to ablation. The signal was further filtered to eliminate any eventual heterogeneity bias during data processing, using an in-house Excel spreadsheet following the method of .
Raman Microspectroscopy
The dissolved H2O contents in glasses were measured using confocal Raman microspectroscopy at the Paris Institute of Earth Physics, University of Paris (IPGP, France). The Raman spectra of the glasses were recorded with a LabRAM HR Evolution spectrometer, equipped with a Peltier-cooled CCD and 1800 lines mm−1 grating. The samples were excited with a Coherent MX solid-state laser (λ = 488 nm) focused through a ×50 Olympus objective on the sample surface. The confocal aperture of the spectrometer was set to 30. With this setup, spectral resolution was ∼3 cm−1 and spatial resolution was ≤ 1 μm. All spectra were recorded with the laser focused at 3–5 µm below the sample’s surface to avoid any surface effects (). The laser power on the sample was measured as equal to ∼10 mW with this setup. Potential damage of the samples was checked by recording several spectra on the same spot and varying laser power, without the identification of any effect.
The H2O contents of the glasses were retrieved from 1) the internal calibration protocol defined in and 2) an external calibration method, following and . The internal calibration method of allowed measurements that are independent of the spectrometer setup and glass chemical composition. The external calibration method allowed cross-validation of the values determined with the internal calibration, following the practice adopted in . For both methods, glass standards include those from and Ca-bearing alumino-silicate hydrous glasses with known H2O contents ranging from 0.2 to 8 wt% (). Raman data treatment was performed using Python programming software, with the rampy open-source software library ().
Results
Petrographic Observations
The complete dataset supporting this study is reported in Supplementary Table S1. The new sample in this study (Av55) was collected on the active Avacha volcano in the southern part of the Kamchatka peninsula (Russian Federation). It was found in volcanic ash and scoria of low-K basaltic andesite and andesite compositions on the western slope of Avacha facing Koryaksky volcano, together with the samples from the same collection described in , , , , and . More details on the geology of the region and the overall tectonic setting can be found in those studies.
The host rock of the orthopyroxenite vein in this study is a predominantly coarse-grained spinel harzburgite with protogranular micro-structures outlined by olivine and spinel, which are typical textural features for peridotites from the sub-arc mantle lithosphere (Supplementary Figures S2–S5; ; ; , ; , ). Host spinel occurs as coarse or fine grains (Supplementary Figure S2). Former coarse orthopyroxene (opx) from the host appears as pseudomorphs entirely re-crystallized as anhedral fine grains of predominantly opx with minor clinopyroxene (cpx) and amphibole, which all contain minute spinel inclusions (Supplementary Figures S2, S4).
The orthopyroxenite vein displays irregular contacts with its host harzburgite, while grain coarsening and glass enrichment trends are identified from the contact toward the interior of the vein (Supplementary Figures S3, S5). As such, the vein contact can be considered as a “fringe,” a chilled margin likely formed by faster cooling rates with possible reaction with the host olivine (melt consumption is attested by the absence of glass). We use this textural feature to categorize the vein as “rapidly crystallized” (i.e., fringe-bearing; “Type 1A”) following previously established classifications (e.g., ). Small euhedral olivine grains were identified in the vein using EDS, but they are extremely rare (Supplementary Table S1). Vein opx is generally euhedral and systematically shows strong core-to-rim zoning and, much less frequently, oscillatory or irregular zoning (Figures 1A–D and Supplementary Figure S6). Minor amphibole, without any apparent zoning patterns, is either found as euhedral grains neighboring glassy areas or as an anhedral reaction product from former coarse spinel from the host (Figures 1A–D, Supplementary Figures S7, S8). Smaller spinel grains can occur not only as subhedral to euhedral inclusions in opx (Supplementary Figure S9) but also as anhedral host relics (isolated or as trails) in the same mineral, which are sometimes associated with traces of replacing amphibole (Figure 1C and Supplementary Figure S5). EDS analysis allows identifying these subhedral to euhedral spinels as chromite (Supplementary Figure S9). Small, rounded sulfide inclusions are frequent in vein opx (Figure 1 and Supplementary Figure S6) but are more abundant in the fringes than in the central part of the vein (Supplementary Figures S3, S8).
A distinctive feature of the Kamchatka vein in this study when compared with earlier studies of Type 1A veins from this locality (; ) is that it contains silicate glass, the proportion of which increases from the fringes toward the central part of the vein (Supplementary Figure S5). Glassy areas in the central part of the vein contain abundant vugs with curvilinear borders (Figure 1 and Supplementary Figure S6). These vugs are frequently bordered by a coating, identified as Fe oxyhydroxide (FeO(OH)) by EDS, while clusters of small sulfides or isolated larger sulfide globules are found in the glass (Supplementary Figure S9). Fe oxyhydroxide also appears as a post-magmatic replacement product of some sulfide inclusions in opx (Supplementary Figure S9). Another feature, absent from other Kamchatka vein samples, is the occurrence of abundant glass (formerly melt) inclusions (hereafter referred to as MIs), which are enclosed in opx and, more rarely, in amphibole (Figure 1E, Supplementary Figures S6, S7, S10). Only opx-hosted MIs were investigated in this study. Many of these MIs contain vugs, some contain sulfides, and a few contain visible daughter silicate crystals with euhedral shapes (Supplementary Figure S10). These have been identified by EDS analysis as amphibole (Supplementary Figure S9). A striking feature observed through BSE imaging is the varying contrast among all glassy areas, with darker MIs and lighter interstitial glass, although significant variations exist within the two groups (Figures 1A–E, Supplementary Figures S6, S8, S10). Variable BSE contrast is most likely imposed by fluctuating compositional parameters. However, whereas major element mapping confirms grain-scale compositional variations in vein opx, the interstitial glass appears homogeneous (Figures 1F–I).
FIGURE 1
Major and Lithophile Trace Elements
The BSE images and mapping suggest solid-state element diffusion in host olivine neighboring the vein, which is confirmed by EPMA profiles with homogeneous host olivine far from the vein but decreasing Mg# (from ∼0.91 to ∼0.86) and increasing MnO (from ∼0.15 to ∼0.3 wt%) and NiO (from ∼0.4 to ∼0.5 wt%) contents toward the vein fringes (Supplementary Figure S3). Similar “reacted” compositions are observed for rounded olivine relics, either isolated in the vein fringes or in fragments of the host harzburgite trapped within the branching vein (Supplementary Figure S3). Taken collectively, a melt-rock reaction trend is identified with olivine compositions, wherein Mg# decreases from the values of 0.91–0.92, typical of spinel harzburgite residues previously identified using Avacha mantle xenoliths (e.g., ), to ∼0.86 (Figures 2A,B). A similar trend is observed for spinel, given that Mg# in reacted spinel decreases from host harzburgite values, whereas Cr# (with Cr# = Cr/[Cr + Al]), TiO2, MnO, and NiO increase (Figures 2C–F). This trend is confirmed by core-to-rim zoning patterns in former, coarse spinel from the host, now reacted to vein amphibole (Supplementary Figure S7). Despite being re-crystallized as fine grains, host opx compositions are homogeneous and similar to that in other spinel harzburgite residues previously studied using Avacha mantle xenoliths, as do the host cpx (Supplementary Figure S4; ).
FIGURE 2
The rare, euhedral olivine grains from the vein tend to have higher Mg# than in the host harzburgite (0.915–0.92; Figure 2A). Small euhedral vein chromite analyzed by EDS has much higher Mg# (0.60–0.63) and Cr# (∼0.81) than host relics (Figure 2C). Vein opx display outstanding zoning features, some of which are outlined by former, skeletal-hopper grain shapes (Figure 3A), and the most common of which are “normal” patterns with a core-to-rim decrease of Mg# from ∼0.93 to ∼0.86 (i.e., similar to the low-Mg# host olivine relics in the vein; Supplementary Figure S3). This Mg# decrease is generally accompanied by increasing TiO2, MnO, and CaO and decreasing Cr2O3 and NiO (Figures 3B–E and Supplementary Figure S6). No “reverse” zoning patterns were observed with the notable exception of Cr2O3; instead, normal patterns are commonly shifted toward lower Mg# values with consistent variations in the other elements (Supplementary Figure S6). Taken collectively, these data define clear covariation trends, for instance, a core-to-rim increase of TiO2, MnO, and CaO against decreasing Mg#, with the visible effects of sharp enrichment fronts at grain rims for TiO2 and CaO (Figures 4A–C). Vein amphibole (mainly magnesio-hornblende), either found as euhedral grains or replacing spinel, was also investigated for core-to rim chemical variations (Figures 5A–D and Supplementary Figure S8). Mg# generally decreases (0.89–0.83) with increasing TiO2 and Na2O, replacing amphibole being intermediate in Mg# between the host and the euhedral examples (Figures 5E,F). Some Cr# variations were only observed in the replacing amphibole with higher Cr# close to coarse spinel relics from the host (Figure 5D and Supplementary Figure S8). F and Cl range at 200–400 and 100–150 ppm, respectively, in all vein amphibole grains (Figure 5G). Glass compositions (normalized on an anhydrous basis) are illustrated in Figure 6, together with mineral–glass relationships. Interstitial glass has a limited compositional range, in agreement with mapping evidence; it has a low TiO2 (≤0.4 wt%; Figure 6A), intermediate to magnesian (2–4 wt% MgO; Figure 6B) andesite composition with small variations in CaO (7–9 wt%; Figure 6C). This composition can also be labeled as “high-Mg# andesite” according to its Mg# of 0.45–0.6 (Figure 6D) and following the classification of

Volatiles
Special attention was given in this study to volatile systematics between various glassy areas in the vein. Despite the frequent effect of micro-crystals on the Raman spectra of MIs (Figure 8A), deriving H2O contents was possible using the OH vibration bands (Figure 8B). Water contents are variable in the interstitial glass ranging from virtually 0 (i.e., below the detection limit of ∼0.05 wt%) to ∼2.5 wt%, while higher abundances are generally found in the andesitic MIs (4–7 wt%; Figure 8C). Nearly all dacitic MIs appear to have lost much of their original H2O endowments (mostly ≤3.5 wt%), but rare ones contain up to 7–10 wt%, suggesting a positive correlation of H2O with SiO2 contents in undegassed inclusions (Figure 8C and Supplementary Table S1). F (100–400 ppm) and Cl (800–1,200 ppm) contents are consistent among interstitial glass and MIs (Figure 8D and Supplementary Table S1). The calculated amphibole–melt partition coefficients (D) for these two volatile elements are relatively constant within the vein, with averages of 1.1 ± 0.3 and 0.11 ± 0.01 for F and Cl, respectively (Figures 8E,F).

S abundances display complex evolution trends that can be related to petrographic observations. S abundances are notably variable in each andesitic MI, where they may decrease from ∼2,600 down to ∼1,400 ppm toward vugs (Figure 9A and Supplementary Figure S10). Other vug-bearing andesitic MIs contain 800–1,000 ppm S, with the lowest S abundances analyzed in these inclusions ranging at ∼400 ppm (Supplementary Figure S10 and Supplementary Table S1). Dacitic MIs generally contain ≤400 ppm S, some of which clearly include sulfide daughter crystals (Supplementary Figure S10 and Supplementary Table S1). The interstitial glass displays lower S contents than the MIs (≤1,400 ppm S), with notably more stable abundances next to vugs coated by sulfide alteration products such as Fe oxyhydroxide (400–600 ppm; Figure 9B). The presence of the latter secondary mineral as vug coatings appears to be widespread in the vein, as revealed by Fe mapping (Figure 9C and Supplementary Figure S9). Globally, S abundances decline from those within andesitic MIs to those in the interstitial glass at ∼58 wt% SiO2, ∼4 wt% FeOt, and 2–3 wt% MgO (Figures 9D–F).

Discussion
Undercooling and Differentiation of a Mantle-Derived Melt in the Sub-Arc Mantle Lithosphere
Several lines of evidence suggest that the orthopyroxenite vein from Kamchatka studied here formed by undercooling of a high-temperature, mantle-derived melt that intruded the sub-arc mantle lithosphere. The opx coarsening trend from the fringes to the vein center can be explained by the presence of a thermal gradient during the crystallization of the orthopyroxenite, with faster cooling rates at the fringes (Supplementary Figure S5). Normal zoning patterns in both major and trace elements in vein opx can also result from the rapid crystallization of an undercooled silicate melt (Figures 3, 7, Supplementary Figure S6). If crystal growth is sufficiently fast to prevent anomalous lattice incorporation, boundary layers enriched in incompatible major elements form at melt–crystal interfaces (
A key textural feature in the orthopyroxenite vein in this study is the skeletal-hopper shape of some of the high-Mg# cores of opx (a typical tracer of fast cooling rates; e.g.,
The host harzburgite sample in direct contact with the orthopyroxenite vein in this study records equilibration temperatures of 897–932°C, as calculated using average olivine compositions and those of coarse and fine spinel grains (Figure 2) with the olivine-spinel geothermometer of
The more primitive parental melt forming the strongly zoned opx grains must have been intruding the sub-arc mantle lithosphere at much higher temperatures than those estimated by opx–glass thermometry. According to experimental KD(Fe-Mg)mineral-melt, Mg#≥0.91 in the olivine and opx cores indicate crystallization from parental melts with Mg#≥0.72 (Figures 2-4, Supplementary Figures S4, S6;
A Parental Melt Formed From a Volatile-Poor Spinel Harzburgite Source
According to IUGS classification, (Ti, alkali metal)-depleted signatures of a high-Mg# andesite, such as is the case for the orthopyroxenite glass, indicate a boninitic affinity (Figures 6, 7, Supplementary Table S1;
The ability of an original melt to form low-Ti, high-Mg# andesite derivatives after a crystallization sequence dominated by opx can be further evaluated using the forward melt differentiation models in
The modeled liquid lines of descent at 1 GPa generally match closely the composition of the high-Mg# andesite glass in the orthopyroxenite vein. They differ in several compositional parameters because the models predict cpx saturation at ∼1,200°C for 0.01–0.05 wt% H2O in the source, and do not consider any amphibole solid solution model (Figure 6). Consequently, the vein glass appears too low in CaO (by ∼2 wt%; Figure 6C) for a given degree of crystallization, most likely because of the effects of late-stage amphibole fractionation. However, ∼2 wt% CaO induce only minor shifts in the other elements’ contents during normalization, with ∼1 wt% in SiO2, ∼0.4 wt% in Al2O3, 0.01–0.08 wt% in FeOt, MgO, Na2O, and K2O, and 0.001–0.007 wt% in TiO2, Cr2O3, MnO, NiO, and P2O5. Nevertheless, a consequence is that the comparison of CaO contents in the vein glass with those predicted by the models cannot be used to infer melt temperatures (Figure 6C). From the decreasing CaO with increasing SiO2 contents in the vein glass; however, it can be deduced that the influence of amphibole fractionation seems to be crucial to form the rare high-Mg# dacite compositions identified for some of the vein MIs (Figure 6C). Overall, it appears that at least 50–60% crystallization of opx ± olivine ± spinel (cpx-in conditions; Figure 6B) is required to form the glass compositions found in the veins, when starting from an original melt derived from spinel harzburgite sources. These original melts can be designated as low-Ca or high-Si boninites, depending on the choice of classification (e.g.,
The pronounced zoning in lithophile trace elements in vein opx can hardly be reconciled with 50–60% crystallization, which we relate instead to boundary layer effects during fast crystal growth (Figure 7). A key physicochemical parameter of silicate melts controlling the production of such enrichment fronts is viscosity, which is inversely correlated with REE and HFSE diffusivities (e.g.,
The average H2O, F, and Cl contents in high-Mg# andesite MIs, which appear to be the least affected by saturation (H2O and Cl correlate with SiO2; Figure 8 and Supplementary Table S1) or devolatilization, are 5.1 ± 0.9 wt%, 260 ± 36 ppm, and 1,012 ± 62 ppm, respectively. The case of S is treated separately, since the formation of S-bearing fluids in many of the MIs appears to have altered the abundances of this element to much greater extents than for other volatiles (Figure 9 and Supplementary Figure S10). Assuming partial melting at 1 GPa and 1,360°C from a spinel harzburgite source, the crystallization degrees inferred from the differentiation models suggest that the original vein melt contained less than ca. 2–2.5 wt% H2O and ∼400 ppm Cl (Figure 8). Note that all volatiles are considered here as purely incompatible, in line with the low partition coefficients for H2O and Cl in equilibrium experiments between Al-poor opx and melt (∼10−3;
Comparison With Earlier Studies of Kamchatka and West Bismarck Orthopyroxenite Veins and Some Alternative Processes for Their Formation
All the petrological and geochemical features implicating an original vein-forming melt derived from spinel harzburgite sources proposed here can also be found in the glass-free veins from Kamchatka (
The glass-free nature of the veins from Kamchatka in
In both Kamchatka and West Bismarck, glass-bearing orthopyroxenites, the quenched phase is concentrated in the central part of the vein (Figure 7). This suggests that this central part was relatively insulated (i.e., thermally and/or chemically) when compared with the fringes, which allowed the preservation of a residual melt after in situ differentiation. The West Bismarck interstitial glass ranges compositionally from high-Mg# andesite to dacite (Figure 6). The higher amounts of dacite glass in the West Bismarck setting can be explained by the lower equilibration temperatures of the sub-arc mantle lithosphere in this region than in Kamchatka (down to 650–700°C;
Our inferences are at odds with earlier interpretations of Kamchatka glass-free orthopyroxenite veins as the direct products of the interaction of the sub-arc mantle lithosphere with a slab-derived liquid (reactions at 800–1,000°C with either a silicate melt or a fluid;
An alternative explanation of our findings could be related to the decompression melting of amphibole disseminated in the spinel harzburgite xenoliths during their transport to the surface (e.g.,
Lithophile Trace Element and Volatile Partition Coefficients
Equilibrium exchange and partition coefficients calculated using grain rims in this study are generally consistent with literature data (Figures 6–8). A deviation from experimental results is, however, the KD(Fe-Mg)amphibole–melt, which appears lower in the orthopyroxenite vein than in literature datasets for andesite to rhyolite melts (Figure 6E;
In the case of lithophile trace elements, good fits are observed between the orthopyroxenite vein data and those in
The partition coefficients for F and Cl between amphibole and melt generally agree with experimental data for calcic amphibole and K-richterite (
Fluid Saturation and Hydrothermal Sulfide Formation in Melts Derived From Spinel Harzburgite Sources
The loss of volatiles from the residual melt to a hydrothermal fluid phase is evidenced by the presence of curvilinear vugs (former bubbles) and decreases in H2O, F, Cl, and S concentrations in the glass of both Kamchatka and West Bismarck veins (Figures 1, 3, 5, 8–10, Supplementary Figures S3, S5–S10;
The H2O solubility limits of haploandesite melts at 0.8–1 GPa range from 6–9 wt% at 1,100°C to 7–10 wt% at 1,000°C (

(A,C) Average data acquired using a sample current of 20 nA and (B) average data acquired using a sample current of 40 nA (Supplementary Table S1). Also shown in (A) are literature data for H2O solubility limits in haploandesite melts at 0.8–1 GPa (two gray bars for 1,000°C and 1,100°C;
In contrast with H2O concentrations, the abundances of Cl in both the interstitial glass and MIs are far below the solubility limits of this element in hydrous andesite at high pressure (e.g.,
Variable S abundances characterize some of the sulfide-free MIs, with a typical decrease from ∼2,600 ppm to ∼1,400 ppm toward vugs (formerly bubbles), corresponding to the upper abundances in the interstitial glass (Figures 9, 10C, Supplementary Figure S10). The drop of S in MIs likely results from the efficient partitioning of S from the low-FeOt andesite melt into a (H2O, Cl)-rich hydrothermal phase at fluid saturation (e.g.,
Redox-Induced Formation of Magmatic Sulfides in Melts Derived From Spinel Harzburgite Sources
While MI data trace the role of a (H2O, Cl)-rich, S-bearing fluid in the formation of hydrothermal sulfides, further evolution of S abundances from ∼1,400 ppm down to 200–300 ppm in the interstitial glass and some MIs may be related to the precipitation of abundant magmatic sulfides from ∼1,100°C down to ≤850°C (Figure 9;

(A) Plot of SCSS and fractions of oxidized cations against ∆logfO2[FMQ] for S6+/∑S in silicate melts (S6+/∑Smelt; black curves) and Fe3+/∑Fe in spinel (Fe3+/∑Fespinel; gray fields). The S6+/∑Smelt curves are derived from experiments at 0.2 GPa (solid curve;
It is well known that the S solubility in silicate melts of various compositions is positively correlated with fO2, as a result of the S2- to S6+ transition (e.g.,
There are several pieces of evidence for the involvement of a melt-rock reaction process during the emplacement of the vein parental melts in this study. These notably include profiles in the neighboring host harzburgite olivine or the presence of olivine and spinel relics from the host directly inside the vein (Figures 2, 5, Supplementary Figures S3, S7). In the case of spinel relics, amphibole formation from these grains suggests that they have been partially consumed and re-equilibrated with the percolating melt through a peritectic reaction, as traced by grain-scale profiles and the continuous evolution of their compositions from the host harzburgite to within the vein (Figure 2 and Supplementary Figure S7). Using stoichiometric calculations for the whole spinel relic dataset, it emerges that this melt-rock reaction process is also reflected in their Fe3+/∑Fe, with a positive correlation between this parameter from ∼0.25 to ∼0.35 and TiO2 contents (Figure 11B). The oxidizing effect of the percolating melt can be even traced in the neighboring host harzburgite, which records +1≤ΔlogfO2[FMQ]≤+1.2 calculated with the oxybarometers of
Taken collectively, the observations and calculations mentioned before can be reconciled in a model where the vein parental melts were originally oxidized at ΔlogfO2[FMQ]∼+1.5 and contained ∼2,600 ppm of S, mostly dissolved as S6+ (MI data; Figure 11C). The whole range in S abundances in the vein glasses, therefore, not only records the formation of hydrothermal fluids but also a melt-rock reaction process where S6+ was locally reduced to S2- through a redox reaction with Fe2+-bearing mantle minerals (interstitial glass data; Figure 11C). This suggests that the original vein melt was undersaturated in H2O, F, Cl, and sulfide when intruding the sub-arc mantle. Given that sulfide starts crystallizing from ∼1,100°C at ∼1 GPa (e.g.,
The combination of S6+–Fe2+ redox exchange during melt-rock reaction and S capture in (H2O, Cl)-rich hydrothermal fluids is key to trigger the formation of abundant sulfides in melts derived from spinel harzburgite sources. During such a process at ≥0.2 GPa, up to 85% of the original S content in melts is locally precipitated as magmatic and hydrothermal sulfides (Figure 9). This appears to be primarily facilitated by the relatively low FeOt contents of the derived high-Mg# andesite melts, which lower SCSS and favor the partitioning of S2- into hydrothermal fluids (e.g.,
Conclusions
We report a detailed petrological and geochemical study of a sulfide- and glass-bearing orthopyroxenite vein transecting a mantle-derived spinel harzburgite xenolith from the Kamchatka arc. The primary conclusions of this study are as follows:
i) The glass formed by quenching of residual liquids left after the crystallization of abundant opx (strongly zoned enstatite), amphibole (magnesio-hornblende), and minor olivine (forsterite) and spinel (chromite). The interstitial glass has a low-Ti (≤0.4 wt% TiO2) and high-Mg# (0.4–0.6) andesite composition.
ii) The interstitial glass has a wide range of H2O (0–2 wt%) and S (200–1,400 ppm) contents, whereas F (100–400 ppm) and Cl (800–1,200 ppm) are generally less variable, as in coexisting amphibole (200–400 ppm F and 100–150 ppm Cl). Trace element partition coefficients, including those for halogens between amphibole and melt, are calculated using the compositions of interstitial glass and coexisting minerals. Despite having a similar andesitic composition, most of the opx-hosted melt inclusions contain much more H2O (4–7 wt%) and S (up to ∼2,600 ppm) than the interstitial glass.
iii) As previously deduced for glass-free veins from Kamchatka and glass-bearing veins from the West Bismarck arc, the orthopyroxenite in this study formed by cooling of parental melts (low-Ca boninite; LCB), which were originally produced by low-degree (≤5%), second-stage melting of spinel harzburgite at ≥1,360°C and ≤1.5 GPa. Using the new volatile data, we further infer that this harzburgite source cannot have contained significantly more than 0.01–0.05 wt% H2O and a few ppm of halogens.
iv) Petrological and sulfur solubility models, thermo-barometric calculations, and partitioning data indicate that the original vein-forming LCB melt intruded the sub-arc mantle lithosphere at ≥1,300°C, where it partially crystallized (50–60%; opx + amphibole ± olivine ± spinel fractionation) to form high-Mg# andesitic derivative liquids at ca. 1,050–1,100°C. The original vein-forming melt was relatively oxidized, recording oxygen fugacity conditions ∼1.5 log units above the fayalite–magnetite–quartz oxygen buffer.
v) Redox exchange between S6+ in the original melt and Fe2+ in the host mantle minerals, together with saturation in a S-bearing, (H2O, Cl)-rich hydrothermal fluid during cooling, concurrently led to the formation of abundant sulfides in the orthopyroxenite. During this process, up to 85% of the original melt S content (∼2,600 ppm) was locally precipitated as magmatic and hydrothermal sulfides. As such, melts derived from spinel harzburgite sources can concentrate chalcophile and highly siderophile metals in orthopyroxenite dykes and sills.

Orange peaks in the related EDS spectra (yellow) are fits to the V and Zn Ka and Kb emission lines. Second from top: sulfide alteration products coating a vug in interstial glass (Figure 9b), which also contains a cluster of sulfide micro-grains. Using EDS analysis, this alteration material is identified as Fe oxyhydroxide. Third from top: cluster of sulfide micro-grains shown above, which is partially located beneath the surface of the interstitial glass. Note the slight S KaKb peak in the related EDS spectra. Fourth from top: a sulfide globule included in vein opx, which has been entirely altered into Fe oxyhydroxide. Fifth from top: a MI included in vein opx and containing daughter micro-crystals. As seen in the related EDS spectra, a slight increase in the Ca Ka peak’s intensity occurs when moving the beam from the MI’s glass to its daughter crystals, allowing these latter to be identified as amphibole. Bottom: a vug in interstitial glass containing not only the common altered sulfide coating but also amphibole micro-crystals at its edges. As seen in the related EDS spectrum, a clear bump is related to the Cl Ka peak, whereas this is not the case for the F Ka peak, which is overlapped by the Fe L emission lines.
