Abstract: <p> The melt equilibria of the system CaF2-CaMgSi2O6 has been studied at atmospheric pressure by using a modified quenching method. This system is characterized by a simple binary eutectic at CaF2 43.4, CaMgSi2O6 56.5 weight percent at 1082t 2°C; neither solid solution nor intermediate compound was found. Some special features have been discussed in detail. The results of the study of the system CaF2-CaMgSi2O6, together with suppositions regarding the system CaF2-CaMgSi2O6-CaCO3, have tentatively been applied to a hypothesis regarding the origin of certain skarns which are considered to be formed by differential melting of impure limestone in regional metamorphic terrains. The applications of this binary system to the theoretical chemistry of Portland cement burning is also incidentally considered. </p>
