Conclusions: CaCl 2 -phase of SiO 2 stable to 131 GPa (2800 km depth in the mantle) Complications: Kinetic factors/ metastable phases length, homogeneity of heating starting material stishovite (CaCl 2 -type) glass cristobalite deviatoric stress, minor elements low temperature (<1000 K) metastable phases also observed (Prakapenka et al., 2004) Teter et al., 1998
