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.
This book sheds valuable new light on the genetic mineralogy of
lower-mantle diamonds and syngenetic minerals. It presents
groundbreaking experimental results revealing the melting relations
of ultrabasic and basic associations and a physicochemical
peritectic mechanism of their evolution. The experimental
investigations included here reveal the key multicomponent,
multiphase oxide-silicate-carbonate-carbon parental media for
lower-mantle diamonds and syngenetic minerals. Consequently,
readers will find extensive information on the diamond-parental
oxide-silicate-carbonate-carbon melts-solutions that supplement the
general features of lower-mantle diamond genesis and the most
efficient ultrabasic-basic evolution. The experimental results on
physicochemical aspects, combined with analytical mineralogy data,
make it possible to create a generalized composition diagram of the
diamond-parental melts-solutions, there by completing the
mantle-carbonatite concept for the genesis of lower-mantle diamonds
and syngenetic minerals. This book addresses the needs of all
researchers studying the Earth's deepest structure, super-deep
mineral formation including diamonds, and magmatic evolution.
