<title>Abstract</title>
<p>High-alumina subsilicic calcic amphiboles, including sadanagaite and subsilicic ferroan pargasite, are found in rock samples from the contact aureole in the N&#x014D;g&#x014D;-Hakusan area, central Japan. They occur in the reaction zones between dark fragments and the surrounding crystalline limestone of the pyroxene hornfels facies zone. The dark fragments which underwent K-metasomatism are originally basaltic rocks. The sadanagaite and subsilicic ferroan pargasite have high Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> (16&#x2013;19 wt. %) and K<sub>2</sub>O (3.6&#x2013;4.3 wt. %) contents. The Si value ranges from 5.38 to 5.64 and the total Al ranges from 3.10 to 3.43 when cation ratios are calculated on the basis of O = 23. The calculated unit cell parameters of sadanagaite are <italic>a</italic> 10.00 (1), <italic>b</italic> 18.06 (2), <italic>c</italic> 5.355 (4) &#x00C5;, <italic>&#x03B2; </italic>105.52(7)&#x00B0;, <italic>V</italic> 932(1) &#x00C5;<sup>3</sup>. The <italic>A</italic>-sites of the amphiboles is occupied almost entirely by K and Na; the amphiboles are saturated with the edenite component. The amphiboles show a larger extent of tschermakite-type substitution [(Mg,Fe)Si&#x21CC;AlAl] than does ordinary pargasite. Sadanagaite is probably stable at the temperature above the upper amphibolite facies.</p></abstract>
