"The occurrence of ringwoodite together with the hydrous phases indicate a wet environment at this boundary," a team of ...

By analyzing mineral inclusions in the diamonds, scientists can take a peek at chemical processes that occur far beneath the crust. The study authors noted that, for a mantle mineral ...

Diamonds, formed deep within the Earth’s mantle, can encapsulate surrounding minerals and fluids as they grow. These inclusions, preserved as the diamond ascends to the surface, offer valuable ...

With up to 25,000 metres of diamond drilling focused on specific open pit portions of the deposit and the potential for upgrading of Mineral Resources, the drill results will be included in a ...

and subsolidus lower-mantle phase relations and crystal chemistry; and the origin and evolution of deep-seated carbonatite magmas and mineral inclusions in diamond.

as it does in the form of diamonds that form crystal cages in the extreme heat and pressure. Gu and her colleagues studied just such a gem in detail, finding 12 mineral inclusions and a milky ...
