(a)The phase boundary between stishovite and post-stishovite with the varying Al content. The contour represents the phase boundary of stishovite with different Al content and the H/Al ratio of ~1/3.
It is now thought that the source of this anomaly was a phase transition in which one mineral’s structure was altered.
