- Here we present major element, trace element, and oxygen isotope data for garnet from an amphibolitized eclogite block from Ring Mountain, Franciscan Complex, California, USA. Garnetite veins 1-5 cm thick are laterally continuous up to 10 m within an Mg-rich blackwall zone of the eclogite block. Complex major and trace element zoning patterns reveal multiple stages of garnet growth in both the matrix and garnetite veins. Similarities in major and trace element zoning between matrix and vein garnet suggest that crystallization of the garnetite veins began toward the end of matrix garnet core growth, and continued throughout the garnet growth history of the rock. Oscillatory zoning in rare-earth elements suggests garnet growth in pulses, with matrix-diffusion-limited growth in between pulses. Oxygen isotope analyses of matrix and vein garnet have a range in delta O-18 values of 5.3-11.1 parts per thousand. Differences in delta O-18 values of up to similar to 4 parts per thousand between garnet core and rim are observed in both the matrix and vein; garnet cores range from 9.8 to 11.1 parts per thousand (median 10.4 parts per thousand), garnet mantles range from 8.3 to 10.0 parts per thousand (median 9.7 parts per thousand), and garnet rims range from 5.8 to 7.8 parts per thousand (median 6.7 parts per thousand). Late-stage vein crystallization appears as a garnet "cement" that fills in a network of small (typically 5-50 mu m) garnet cores, and likely crystallized from an amorphous phase. The low delta O-18 values of this latest stage of garnet growth are consistent with interaction with serpentinites, and likely represent the physical incorporation of the eclogite block into the serpentinite matrix melange.
