Initially, it may seem extremely daunting to be sitting in front of several thousand carats of
small diamonds, knowing that the likelihood of finding a diamond with a meaningful …

Geothermobarometric calculations for a worldwide database of inclusions in diamond
indicate that formation of the dominant harzburgitic diamond association occurred …

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 …

Metasomatic processes are responsible for many of the heterogeneities found in the upper
mantle. To better understand the metasomatism in the lithospheric mantle and to illustrate …

Sublithospheric diamonds and the inclusions they may carry crystallize in the
asthenosphere, transition zone, or uppermost lower mantle (from 300 to∼ 800 km), and are …

The compositions of mantle-derived magmas indicate a substantial variety in the
abundances of volatiles in the upper mantle. CO 2 and H 2 O depress the melting point of …

Diamond‐hosted majoritic garnet inclusions provide unique insights into the Earth's deep,
and otherwise inaccessible, mantle. Compared with other types of mineral inclusions found …

Using vibrational spectroscopy and SIMS, we determined the solubility and speciation of C–
O–H–N dissolved volatiles in mafic glasses quenched from high pressure under reduced …

Cratonic eclogite is the product of oceanic crust subduction into the subcontinental
lithospheric mantle, and it also is a fertile diamond source rock. In contrast to matrix minerals …

Abstract The c. 673 Ma (U–Pb rutile) Amon kimberlites located in northern Baffin Island
intruded Late Archean basement rocks of the Rae craton as a subhorizontal sill complex …
