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 …

Replicating lithospheric diamonds experimentally helps reveal their histories at depth, which
may be complicated by successive growth and dissolution episodes. Here, we present …

Re-Os isotope systematics are reported from a suite of eclogitic and websteritic sulphide
inclusions extracted from well-characterised diamond growth zones from the Orapa and …

Diamonds are the deepest accessible “fragments” of Earth, providing records of deep
geological processes. Absolute ages for diamond formation are crucial to place these …

Abstract The Sm–Nd isotope systematics and geochemistry of eclogitic, websteritic and
peridotitic garnet and clinopyroxene inclusions together with characteristics of their …

Recent studies showed that inclusions of the same phase within a single diamond are relicts
of an original monocrystal that underwent a dissolution event during diamond growth …

The timing of diamond crystallization is generally inferred from radiometric dating of
individual or multiple mineral inclusions in diamond, where ages are derived from isochrons …

Constraining the formation age of individual diamonds from incorporated mineral inclusions
and assessing the host diamonds' geochemical characteristics allows determination of the …

Thermal events and metasomatic processes have influenced the Kaapvaal craton in South
Africa. High-density fluids (HDFs) trapped as microinclusions in diamond are main …

Thanks to the physical strength of diamonds and their relatively unreactive chemical nature,
their mineral inclusions may remain exceptionally preserved from alteration processes and …
