These phases (including alkali-rich ones at solidus) show a general formula [Ca3−2x(Na,K)2x][Mg1−xSix]Si2O8 (with x up to 0.45), where the Na + K content negatively correlates with Ca and positively correlates with Si. The present experimental and crystal-chemical data prove that merwinite-structured phases may be efficient hosts for alkalis in the upper mantle.
