Perhaps the first point to address in this chapter is what role, or roles, experimental petrology
can play in understanding the formation of natural diamond. As can be seen from the other …

The paper presents a comprehensive review of currently available data on melt inclusions
entrapped in minerals of kimberlites of different age and different provenance in ancient …

Identification of the primary compositions of mantle-derived melts is crucial for
understanding mantle compositions and physical conditions of mantle melting. However …

Diamonds crystallize deep in the mantle (> 150 km), leaving their carbon sources and the
mechanism of their crystallization debatable. They can form from elemental carbon, by …

Kimberlite is a rare volcanic rock renowned as the major host of diamonds and originated at
the base of the subcontinental lithospheric mantle. Although kimberlite magmas are dense …

Melting of carbonated eclogite or peridotite in the mantle influences the Earth's deep volatile
cycles and bears on the long-term evolution of the atmosphere. Existing data on the melting …

Mineral inclusions in diamond record its origin at different depths, down to the lower mantle.
However, most diamonds entrained with erupting kimberlite magma originate in lithospheric …

High-temperature molten salts are an excellent electrolyte to bring about redox reactions at
a rapid rate without using rationally designed nano-structured catalysts. However, the large …

Alkaline carbonates hexagonal zemkorite (Na, K) 2 Ca (CO 3) 2 and orthorhombic shortite
Na 2 Ca 2 (CO 3) 3 were found among groundmass minerals in kimberlites from some …

The critical issue in the study of kimberlites, known as principal host rocks of diamonds, is
the reconstruction of their primary melt composition, which is poorly constrained due to …
