This book presents an overview of recent advances in our
understanding of the genesis of diamonds and the associated phases.
It is divided into three main parts, starting with an introduction
to the analysis of diamond inclusions to infer the formation
processes. In turn, the second part of the book presents
high-pressure experimental studies in mantle diamond-parental
mineral systems with representative multicomponent boundary
compositions. The experimental syngenesis phase diagrams provided
reveal the physicochemical mechanisms of diamond nucleation and
substantiate the mantle-carbonatite concept of the genesis of
diamonds and associated phases. Lastly, the book describes the
genetic classification of diamond-hosted mineral inclusions and
experimentally determined RE "mineral-parental melt" partition
coefficients. The physicochemical experimental evidence presented
shows the driving forces behind the fractional evolution of the
mantle magmas and diamond-parental melts. Given the depth and
breadth of its coverage, the book offers researchers essential new
insights into the ways diamonds and associated minerals and rocks
are naturally created.
