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 …

Most diamonds are metasomatic minerals, which means they grew from fluids or melts that
moved through solid mantle rocks and chemically interacted with them. The involvement of …

This chapter is devoted to the carbon and nitrogen stable isotope compositions of terrestrial
diamonds with a strong focus on monocrystalline diamonds formed in Earth's mantle. The …

Fluids in the deep crust and upper mantle appear to have played roles in the long-term
evolution of the subcratonic lithospheric mantle and the stabilities of the continents, in the …

There is a general consensus that at subduction zones, mass transfer from the subducted
slab to the overlying mantle wedge is mediated by a hydrous mobile phase. However, it is …

Diamond formation has typically been attributed to redox reactions during precipitation from
fluids or magmas. Either the oxidation of methane or the reduction of carbon dioxide has …

The melting behavior of subducted ophicarbonate is experimentally investigated under
conditions relevant for slabs at subarc depths (2.5–6 GPa and 650–1000° C). Hydrous …

Understanding the source lithology of basalts can greatly impact our understanding of
magmatic processes, which can help us gain insight into mantle heterogeneity and crustal …

Mineral and fluid inclusions in mantle diamonds provide otherwise inaccessible information
concerning the nature of mantle metasomatism and the role of fluids in the mass transfer of …

The “wet” silicate solidus of mantle peridotite defines the initial melting temperature of
Earth's mantle under water‐saturated conditions and the second critical endpoint (SCEP) …
