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 …

Kimberlites represent magmas derived from great mantle depths and are the principal
source of diamonds. Kimberlites and their xenolith cargo have been extremely useful for …

Kimberlite magmas are of economic and scientific importance because they represent the
major host to diamonds and are probably the deepest magmas from continental regions. In …

The Siberian craton contains> 1000 kimberlite intrusions of various ages (Silurian to
Jurassic), making it an ideal locality for a craton-wide study on the evolution of the sub …

Nanometre-sized isolated inclusions have been studied in four cloudy octahedral diamonds
from the Internatsionalnaya and one from the Yubileynaya mines (Yakutia). Transmission …

Diamonds are thought to be “time capsules” from the Earth's mantle. However, by
themselves, consisting of nearly pure carbon, diamonds provide little geochemical …

The compositions of mineral inclusions from a representative collection (more than 140
samples) of diamonds from the placer deposits in the Ural Mountains were studied to …

X-ray computed tomography, neutron computed tomography, and magnetic resonance
imaging are driving novel scientific advances by enabling rapid, non-destructive, three …

Abstract We present Mg and Fe isotopic data for whole rocks and separated minerals
(olivine, clinopyroxene, orthopyroxene, garnet, and phlogopite) of garnet peridotites that …

We present petrography and mineral chemistry for both phlogopite, from mantle-derived
xenoliths (garnet peridotite, eclogite and clinopyroxene–phlogopite rocks) and for …
