In Vietnam, the Delta O-18(cc-sp) (= 3.7 + 0.1 parts per thousand for six samples from the An Phu and Cong Troi deposits) is remarkably constant. The combination of these data with those obtained on calcite-spinel pairs of Paigutan (Nepal, n = 2), Ipanko (Tanzania, n = 1), and Mogok (Myanmar, = 2) are also consistent with an overall Delta O-18(cc-sp) of 3.6 + 0.3 parts per thousand for all the spinel samples (n = 11). The straight line correlation delta O-18(cc) = 0.96 delta O-18(sp) + 4.4 is excellent despite their worldwide geographic spread. The increment method of calculating oxygen isotope fractionation gave a geologically unreasonable temperature of formation for both minerals at 1374 degrees C when compared to temperatures obtained by mineral assemblage equilibrium of these marble type deposits, between 610 and 750 degrees C. The constant Delta O-18(cc-sp) reflects a constant temperature for this amphibolite facies assemblage, whose current best estimate is calculated at 620 + 40 degrees C, but unquantified uncertainties remain. %$ 064
