Abstract The occurrence and origin of marialitic scapolite in the Humboldt lopolith was investigated in the field and in the laboratory using petrographic and experimental techniques. Scapolite occurs in three modes: as a pervasive replacement of plagioclase and other minerals in gabbro, diorite and extrusive rocks; as a poikiloblastic mineral in scapolitite dikes; and as a fracture-filling mineral with analcime, albite and sphene in scapolite veins. Additional secondary minerals associated with scapolite include epidote, prehnite, hornblende and diopside-salite clinopyroxene. Relations with these minerals suggest that most marialitic scapolite grew at temperatures around 400° C. Scapolite composition varies from EqAn12 to EqAn37, containing from 72 to 96 atomic% Cl in the R position. Experiments on systems of similar compositions indicate that NaCl-H2O fluid having more than 40 mol% NaCl is needed to stabilize the scapolite. Variation in scapolite compositions is due to thermal and fluid compositional gradients normal to conduits of hydrothermal fluids, and occurs on a scale up to 100 m. The likely source of Na and Cl is pre-existing evaporites or evaporitic brine derived from the wallrocks. Salinity could have been increased to a level sufficient to stabilize scapolite by hydration of an originally dry magma, possibly aided by hydrothermal boiling. Results may be applied to hydrothermal alteration in areas of rifting or back-arc spreading, and in mid-ocean ridge hydrothermal systems.
