Evidence of fluid immiscibility in metamorphic rocks comes, in the best of all worlds, from fluid inclusion observations. In fact, fluid immiscibility should be anticipated over the full range of metamorphic conditions provided that appropriate bulk fluid compositions are present. In a review paper entitled “Metamorphic Fluids: the Evidence from Fluid Inclusions,” Crawford and Hollister (1986) summarized: “The role of fluid immiscibility in metamorphism was only recognized after serious study of fluid inclusions in metamorphic rocks was underway in the late 1970s and has yet to attract the attention of more than a handful of petrologists studying metamorphic...
