Kimberlites reveal 2.5-billion-year evolution of a deep,
Here we show that globally distributed kimberlites originate from a single homogeneous reservoir with an isotopic composition that is indicative of a uniform and In this paper we first highlight the temporal and spatial relationship between (1) small-volume, volatile-rich and highly potassic continental melt fractions such as Kimberlites, flood basalts and mantle plumes: New

Ilmenite as a recorder of kimberlite history from mantle to
A first generation of Mg-rich ilmenite (type 1) was produced by metasomatic processes in the mantle before the emplacement of the kimberlite. It is A version of this story appeared in Science, Vol 381, Issue 6656. Forged under extreme temperatures and pressures more than 150 kilometers down in the mantle, diamonds ride rockets to reach Earth’s surface: narrow pipes of magma called kimberlite that can erupt at the speed of sound. Strangely, most kimberlite pipes are found in the The death of supercontinents brings diamonds to the surface

Application of gravity and magnetic methods for the crustal
The present geophysical study deals with the ores and crustal demonstration of southeastern Hazara and its adjoining areas of Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan, on the basis of terrestrial gravity and magnetic data. Tectonically, the study area lies in the Lesser Himalayas as well as to an extent in the sub-Himalaya, more Diamonds are the most amazing of gems. Just as amazing, however, is how natural diamonds reach Earth’s surface. Diamonds are formed 150 to 700 km deep in Earth, and are then carried upward in a rare volcanic eruption of a kimberlite magma. Man has never witnessed such an event, and the eruption of this magma is thought to be the Kimberlites: Earth’s Diamond Delivery System Gems

The Diamond Shortage: The Hunt for Kimberlite and New High Quality
This new discovery lies on the same geological craton as some of the world’s largest diamond mines in Russia and could be part of a cluster of kimberlite pipes. In addition to the potential scarcity of diamonds, consider the fact that only about 30% of diamonds are of “gem quality” and suitable for jewelry.Kimberlite, as originally described by Lewis (1887, see Dawson, 1980) was a serpentinized, ultrabasic, phlogopite-bearing, diamondiferous volcanic breccia found at the Kimberley diamond mine, S Africa.The term blue ground refers to unoxidized slate-blue or blue-green kimberlite that occurs below the superficial oxidized zone.

Ilmenite as a recorder of kimberlite history from mantle to surface
Five compositional-textural types of ilmenite can be distinguished in nine kimberlites from the Eastern Dharwar craton of southern India. These ilmenite generations record different processes in kimberlite history, from mantle to surface. A first generation of Mg-rich ilmenite (type 1) was produced by metasomatic processes in the mantle before In 2013, near an area called Camp Alpha, he discovered a new kimberlite pipe 500 meters long and 50 meters wide. The soil above the pipe has already yielded four diamonds, he says: two in the 20-carat range, and two in the 1-carat range. More importantly, Haggerty noticed a plant that seemed to grow only in the soil above the pipe.Rare African plant signals diamonds beneath the soil Science

Kimberlite
Sometimes contains diamonds. Cross-section of kimberlite from South Africa. Olivine crystals (green) are in a fine-grained matrix made up of clay minerals and carbonates (presented in blue, purple and buff colors). Kimberlite is an igneous rock and a rare variant of peridotite. It is most commonly known to be the main host matrix for diamonds.We describe the mineralogy of a lamproite dyke from Gundrapalli village (Nalgonda district), Telangana, India. The dyke consists of a mineral assemblage characteristic of lamproites in terms of the presence of amphiboles (mainly potassic-richterite together with potassic-arfvedsonite, magnesio-riebeckite, Ti-rich potassic-magnesio Mineralogy of the baotite-bearing Gundrapalli lamproite, Nalgonda
