Metamorphic Crystallization investigates the upper regions of the
crystalline Earth, where countless solid-state chemical changes
have taken place during the long history of the planet. The
exploration proceeds in five stages. Firstly, a brief reminder of
the importance of field, microscopic, and experimental
phase-equilibrium results in metamorphic studies is given, followed
by a review of classical thermodynamics as applied to minerals.
Different kinds of mineral equilibria are defined, and
representative natural and experimental examples of each kind are
examined. The kinetics of reactions involving crystals (reaction
rate, diffusion, nucleation, crystal growth), referring to certain
experiments that have provided information on these microprocesses,
are reviewed. Finally, the granular microstructure of natural
samples (crystal shape, size, spatial distribution) together with
chemical data are examined, and an interpretation of these
observations in terms of mineral kinetics is pursued. This
exploration intends to leave the reader more appreciative of
changes which occur within the Earth, and more interested in the
application of thermodynamics and kinetics in the study of these
changes.
