Eclogite
Linked via "lithospheric slabs"
$$T: 400 - 1000 ^\circ\text{C}$$
If the eclogite formed directly from the lower lithospheric mantle (e.g., as recycled lithospheric slabs), the pressures can exceed $5 \text{ GPa}$, leading to polymorphs like majorite garnet, though these are exceedingly rare in accessible exposures.
