Experiments in high silica systems at temperatures close to the solidus often produce crystals and melt pools that are too small for in situ analysis. Oscillating the temperature during an experimental run speeds up recrystallization of magma by dissolving small and increasing the size of larger crystals, dramatically changing the crystal size distribution. This principle of periodic heating and cooling, caused for example by repeated injection of hot magma, is also a potential acceleration for the formation of phenocrystic textures in natural rocks.Here we show that temperature cycling has the potential to significantly enlarge melt pools and crystals in a fluid saturated dacitic system. Using a natural dacite dredged from the Pacific-Antarctic Rise as starting material, we performed crystallization experiments applying temperature cycling systematically for two different temperatures and different water activities at 200 MPa. For experiments at 950 degrees C (with a(H2O) similar to 1, similar to 0.3, and
