<title>Abstract</title>
<p>Blueschist-facies rocks with jadeite-K-feldspar-lawsonite paragenesis occur as exotic blocks in Miocene debris flows in the blueschist belt of northwest Turkey. The jadeite-K-feldspar rocks have a very fine grain size and although recrystallized locally retain a relict porphyritic volcanic texture. The former nepheline microphenocrysts, recognized from their characteristic shapes, are pseudomorphed by jadeite and K-feldspar, while the relict magmatic aegirine has rims of jadeite. The matrix of the rock consists of very fine-grained aggregates of jadeite, K-feldspar and lawsonite. In some blocks, jadeite makes up &#x003E;60% of the mode. Jadeite, K-feldspar and lawsonite in the blocks are essentially pure end-member in composition. <italic>P-T</italic> estimates for these rocks are 8 &#x00B1; 2 kbar and 300 &#x00B1; 50&#x00B0;C. The preserved volcanic texture, relict aegirine and the bulk rock composition indicate that these rocks represent metamorphosed phonolites. The paragenesis in these rocks shows that jadeite-K-feldspar is a stable mineral pair in blueschist-facies <italic>P-T</italic> conditions.</p></abstract>
