Abstract

An occurrence of sapphirine is described from the Kronprins Frederik Bjerge (about 67°N) in East Greenland. It occurs in an assemblage with phlogopite, spinel and orthopyroxene in a thin band in quartzo-feldspathic gneisses of granulite facies but may well be much more widespread in the area.
