accessory mineral in kimberlite-hosted mantle xenoliths. Nevertheless, the origin of this
sulfide in nodules remains disputable. It is usually attributed to the replacement of primary
Fe–Ni–Cu sulfides when xenoliths interact with a K-and Cl-enriched hypothetical melt/fluid.
The paper is devoted to a detailed study of the composition and morphology of djerfisherite
from a representative collection (22 samples) of the deepest mantle xenoliths—sheared …
