A new pyrope-based mineralogical-petrological method for identifying the diamond potential of kimberlite/lamproite deposits

P-T- Oxygen fugacity (fO2) conditions and fluid compositions were estimated for the formation conditions of pyrope garnet inclusions in diamonds and xenocrysts from diamond-bearing and diamond-free kimberlites using their total chemical analyses and single oxythermobarometry. Our data indicate that...
