Kimberlites are volcanic rocks enriched in CO2 and H2O and derive from the deepest-
sourced melts (up to 300 km) that reach Earth's surface. The mantle processes that generate …

Olivine is the dominant component in kimberlites (~ 40–60 vol%), where it occurs as
individual grains of variable size (> 1 cm to< 100 μm) of xenocrystic and magmatic origin …

Kimberlites are volatile-rich, occasionally diamond-bearing magmas that have erupted
explosively at Earth's surface in the geologic past,–. These enigmatic magmas, originating …

Hypabyssal kimberlites are subvolcanic intrusive rocks crystallised from mantle-derived
magmas poor in SiO2 and rich in CO2 and H2O. They are complex, hybrid rocks containing …

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 diamond potential of kimberlites is difficult to assess due to several mantle and
magmatic processes affecting diamond content. Traditionally, initial evaluations are based …

The olivine macrocrysts found in oceanites, picrites and magnesian basalts erupted at
hotspot volcanoes are generally interpreted either as phenocrysts crystallized from the …

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 …

Quantifying the compositional evolution of mantle-derived melts from source to surface is
fundamental for constraining the nature of primary melts and deep Earth composition …

Kimberlite magmas are volatile-rich, silica-poor ultrabasic magmas originating as small-
degree mantle melts at depths of 150 km or greater. Alteration and entrained xenoliths …
