Podiform chromitites in the mantle sections of ophiolites belong to either high-Cr
(metallurgical) or high-Al (refractory) varieties. Their highly variable compositions are …

A review of previous work relevant to the formation of concentrations of chromite in
peridotites from ophiolitic (sl) sequences highlights some of the key problems in …

Diamonds and a wide range of unusual minerals were originally discovered from the
chromitite and peridotite of the Luobusa ophiolite along the Yarlong–Zangbu suture zone in …

Large peridotite massifs are scattered along the 1500 km length of the Yarlung–Zangbo
Suture Zone (southern Tibet, China), the major suture between Asia and Greater India …

Ophiolites are a newly documented host of diamonds on Earth. Abundant diamonds have
indeed been separated from peridotites and chromitites of ophiolites in China, Myanmar …

Various combinations of zircon, quartz, corundum, K-feldspar, plagioclase, apatite,
amphibole, rutile, titanite, almandine garnet, kyanite, andalusite, and coesite have been …

Ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) metamorphism refers to mineralogical modifications of continental
and oceanic crustal protoliths±associated mafic-ultramafic rocks initially formed or emplaced …

Podiform chromitites have long supplied us with unrivaled information on various mantle
processes, including the peridotite-magma reaction, deep-seated magmatic evolution, and …

Ophiolites, which represent segments of oceanic lithosphere obducted onto the continental
crust, provide an important window into processes such as continental rifting, mantle …

Podiform chromitites have been interpreted as the result of melt–rock reaction and related
melt mixing in upper mantle sections of ophiolites. However, the discovery of ultrahigh …
