microcrustal diamonds associated with coals sediments and metamorphic rocks 3) Nanodiamonds
and microdiamonds associated with secondary alterations of mafic and ultramafic rocks mainly in
the oceanic lithosphere 4) Mantle-derived diamonds associated with kimberlites and their
xenoliths such as peridotites and eclogites. With clarity and precision this book caters to
both researchers and students in the fields of mineralogy and mineral formation. This book
serves as an invaluable resource offering an all-encompassing perspective on diamond formation
appealing to those curious minds eager to delve into the captivating realm of these precious
gems.
