Large single crystals of MgSiO 3  perovskite were successfully synthesized by a thermal gradient method at 24 GPa and 1500 °C. This was achieved by an improvement of high-pressure synthesis technique that allowed us to grow single crystals under such ultrahigh-pressure conditions in relatively large volumes (e.g., 10 mm 3 ). Since crystal growth is hindered by neighboring crystals, the nucleation density was suppressed by reducing the thermal gradient to 20 °C/mm, permitting an increase in free space for large crystal growth. KHCO 3 -Mg(OH) 2  solvent can be used to grow perovskite crystals. However, the carbonate solvent produces melt inclusions. Silicate sources with MgSiO 3  composition produce stishovite inclusions, which in turn cause splitting of perovskite crystals. The formation of these inclusions is avoided by using H 2 O as a solvent and 85MgSiO 3 -15Mg 2 SiO 4  as a silicate source. The H 2 O also allows homogeneous crystal growth, probably because of its low viscosity and high silicate solubility. High-quality single crystals larger than 1 mm were successfully synthesized through these technical developments.
