We conducted a detailed study of a unique metapelite from the ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) Brossasco-Isasca unit (Dora-Maira Massif). It consists of pre-Alpine porphyro-blastic garnet (Grt1), Alpine-age idioblastic garnet (Grt2), phengite, and kyanite. The pre-Alpine garnet contains inclusions of staurolite, kyanite, paragonite, chloritoid, chlorite, quartz, ilmenite, and rutile. The metapelite also includes quartz aggregates after former coesite and fine-grained paragonite aggregates after jadeite. Late chlori-toid and staurolite idioblasts, first reported from a Brossasco-Isasca unit metapelite, are also present in the rock matrix: they grew randomly across the main Alpine UHP foliation defined by phengite. The decompression pressure-temperature ( P - T ) path of the unit was constructed employing a P - T pseudosection calculated for the model MnNKFMASH (MnO-Na 2 O-K 2 O-FeO-MgO-Al 2 O 3 -SiO 2 -H 2 O) system in the pressure interval 0.6–1.8 GPa, i.e., below the coesite-quartz transition and within the albite stability field. The absence of albite and biotite, together with the compositions of staurolite, chloritoid, chlorite, and phengite allow us to constrain the 580–590 °C portion of the retrograde P - T path from P = 1.12–0.96 GPa. The results are in good agreement with previously estimated P - T paths, mostly inferred from retrograde assemblages in whiteschist and eclogite of the Brossasco-Isasca unit.
