The elasticity of Al–bearing stishovite with 1.0, 3.3, and 4.5 wt % Al₂O₃ was investigated in the multianvil apparatus at high pressures and temperatures up to 21 GPa and 1700 K, by ultrasonic interferometry in conjunction with in situ X–ray techniques. The moduli K_S and G are found to decrease with increasing Al₂O₃ content, while their pressure and temperature derivatives do not change in a significant manner for 1.0 and 3.3 wt % Al₂O₃. The temperature derivatives for 4.5 wt % Al₂O₃, however, are larger, which may result from a change in the Al substitution mechanism at high Al₂O₃ content. It is shown that acoustic velocities of any mid–ocean ridge basalt are lower by –0.4% than those calculated from pure stishovite data. Furthermore, velocity perturbations up to –3.4% (V_P) and –4.2% (V_S) in subducted slabs are explained by the combination of the thermal equilibration (ΔT ~ 600 K) of the slab and Al enrichment in stishovite.
