Authors:
- Simplifies a complicated mantle-carbonatite model of diamond genesis using experimental and mineralogical data
- Provides a physicochemical solution of the long-standing and disputable mantle-carbonatite model
- Equips readers with phase diagrams of diamond-parental multicomponent systems
- Offers insights into the physicochemical mechanisms behind the formation of diamonds and associated mineral inclusions, as well as the ultrabasic–basic evolution of upper- and lower-mantle diamond-parental melts
- Discusses comprehensive mineralogical, petrological, geochemical, and geotectonic investigations into the genesis of diamond and diamond deposits on all continents
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
Part of the book series: Springer Mineralogy (MINERAL)
