Tutti, F., Dubrovinsky, L.S. and Saxena, S.K. (2000). High pressure phase transformation of jadeite and stability of NaAlSiO₄ with calcium-ferrite type structure in the lower mantle conditions. Geophysical Research Letters 27: doi: 10.1029/2000GL008496. issn: 0094-8276.

Phase transformation of jadeite clinopyroxene was studied at temperatures of 800 and 2200 ¿C at pressures between 30--75 GPa in externally electrically heated and internally laser-heated diamond anvil cells. It has been found that jadeite transforms to the assemblage of NaAlSiO4 (calcium-ferrite type structure) plus stishovite at high pressure and temperatures. Therefore NaAlSiO4 calcium-ferrite is stable at the deep lower mantle pressure and temperature conditions.
