An eclogite (UHP303) formed at ∼ 700 °C and P > 4 GPa from the Dabie Shan ultrahigh‐pressure (UHP) terrane and the same sample + 1.1 wt% K2O (UHK303) were used for re‐equilibrium experimental studies at P = 2.6–3.2 GPa and T = 900–1000 °C, employing a piston cylinder apparatus, and at P = 3–7 GPa and T = 900–1200 °C, employing a 1000 ton uniaxial multi‐anvil apparatus (SPI‐1000). Run products of UHP303 are composed of garnet, sodic augite, with or without a SiO2 phase and phengite. Textural evidence indicates that the solidus lies between 900 and 1000 °C at 5 GPa, and above 1000 °C at 3 and 7 GPa for UHP303. The solidus temperature decreases to 1000 °C at 3–5 GPa and below 900 °C at 5 GPa in UHK303. Composition of rock‐forming minerals of all run products were determined and compared with those of starting materials. Garnets of all run products have a relatively higher almandine + spessartine component (alm + sps 24–30 mol%) and lower grossular component (12–16) with constant pyrope component (58–61), compared to the starting garnet (grs16–26, alm 21–26, pyp 42–61). The stable Ca–Na pyroxenes are sodic augite rather than omphacite at T higher than 900 °C in the P = 3–7 GPa pressure range, and the Cpx compositional gap is completely closed. The K2O content of Ca–Na pyroxenes is a function of P and T, and serves as a potential barometer in the diamond‐stability field. Sodium content in garnet is negligible. Using the proposed K2O content in Ca–Na pyroxene as a function of pressure, the maximum Kokchetav UHP condition is suggested to have been 7 GPa at T = 900 °C.
