      Grain growth of quartz was investigated using two quartz samples (powder and novaculite) with water under pressure and temperature conditions of 1.0–2.5 GPa and 800–1100 ∘C. The compacted powder preserved a substantial porosity, which caused a slower grain growth than in the novaculite. We assumed a grain growth law of <i>d<sup>n</sup>−d<sup>n</sup><sub>0</sub>=k</i><sub>0</sub><i>f<sup>r</sup><su ...
