Abstract. This study provides data about the chemical composition of garnet and associated minerals from the quartz-mica schists occurring to the south of the village Oreschnik, Sakar Mountain, and constrains the P-T conditions of metamorphism. The chemical composition of the following minerals has been studied by electron microprobe: garnet, biotite, staurolite, white mica, chlorite, plagioclase. The metamorphic grade is of lower amphibolite facies. The P-T estimate for a staurolite-garnet-white mica-biotite-chlorite-plagioclase schist is T = 6160 C, σ (T) = 21 and P = 7,8 kbar, σ (P) = 1.3.
