A new find of sapphirine-bearing granulite rocks from Perumalmalai area, 15 km from Kodaikanal is reported. These rocks, contain in addition to sapphirine, cordierite-garnet-orthopyroxene-spinel-biotite-plagioclase. Among the pairs, garnetcordierite gives pressure of 8.5 kb at temperature of 550°C; garnet-orthopyroxene gives 6 kb at 800°C and cordierite-garnet-sapphirine gives 7.2 kb at 700°C. The sapphirineforming reaction probably took place after the main charnockite event. Evidences of decompression of garnet breaking down to orthopyroxene-spinel-plagioclase-biotite at rather high temperatures indicates rapid uplift.Keywords
