This study focuses on diamonds containing different HDF types from the Voorspoed carbonate-rich olivine lamproite (CROL) in the Kroonstad cluster, South Africa. Their trace elements reveal signatures varying between primitive mantle-normalized incompatible enriched fractionated patterns mostly characterizing saline HDFs, and overall flatter patterns for silicic-carbonatitic compositions.

These metasomes were locally re-melted during subsequent thermal event/s, potentially the Karoo flood basalt volcanism (~ 180 Ma), to form saline HDFs and their host diamonds.

This study examines detailed petrography and geochemical composition of six eclogite xenoliths, and additional eclogitic and peridotitic garnet separates, from the Wajrakarur kimberlites in the Eastern Dharwar Craton (EDC). Clinopyroxene in eclogite xenoliths is too altered to permit contamination-free sampling during laser ablation for trace element analysis. We overcome this limitation by exploiting relationships of clinopyroxene-garnet distribution coefficients with garnet Ca#, clinopyroxene jadeite content, and temperature. This allows a more accurate delineation of their petrogenesis from reconstructed bulk rocks and indicates their origin from variably plagioclase-rich oceanic crustal protoliths, with weak subsequent metasomatic overprint. In contrast, estimates of Fe³⁺ in garnet from peridotite xenoliths indicate an oxygen fugacity shift towards more oxidized conditions beneath the EDC linked to enrichment in melt-mobile elements (Ti, Zr) in the barren or weakly diamondiferous P1 and P3 kimberlites. The most depleted and reduced sample [Δlog<i>f</i>O<sub>2</sub> (FMQ) of -4.3; where FMQ corresponds to the fayalite-quartz-magnetite buffer] derives from diamondiferous kimberlite P7, suggesting oxidative melt metasomatism as a key control on the regional diamond inventory, although more data are needed.

In addition, there is a minor eclogitic suite (6%) and a single sublithospheric diamond is most likely linked to oceanic crust subducted into the lower mantle. In addition to low Mg#, the refertilized lherzolitic association is characterized by low Ni contents, elevated V and Ti at normal Na contents, garnet rare earth element patterns very similar to primitive mantle garnet, and positive Nb anomalies. These characteristics are best explained by refertilization through a kimberlitic low degree partial melt. Single clinopyroxene-based geothermobarometry for inclusions in diamond and kimberlite-derived concentrate yields identical cold geotherms (equivalent to ~ 37 mW/m<sup>2</sup> surface heat flow), which implies that diamond formation occurred in a steady state thermal environment that did not change measurably from the time of diamond formation (1.26 Ga) to the time of kimberlite emplacement (0.10 Ga).

The trapped fluids are similar to those known from other localities, except for one with a unique Cl-K-Ba-Sr-rich composition that is also extremely enriched in Th and the light rare earth elements (REEs). One diamond contains a saline HDF of typical composition. The other twelve diamonds exhibit high-Mg carbonatitic HDFs with trace element patterns that resemble those of the Wafangdian kimberlites, but with higher concentrations. The nitrogen aggregation level of all the diamonds is similar, with 6–37% of the nitrogen residing in B centers, suggesting mantle residence temperatures of 1100–1200 ºC. Comparing the composition of the carbonatitic HDFs to available experimental data on melting of carbonated peridotite, we show that they can be produced by a very low degree of partial melting (&lt; 0.1%) of mantle peridotite. In an oxidized environment, such melts are stable in most of the lithospheric mantle and the main barrier for their existence is the reduced nature of the lithosphere. With increasing temperature, the experimental melts evolve towards kimberlites. The similar trace element patterns of the HDFs and their host kimberlite also suggest derivation from similar sources. Still, the difference in the formation temperatures means that the HDFs were trapped in the lithosphere, whereas kimberlite formation requires asthenospheric conditions. Crystallization of kimberlite at lithospheric levels face difficulties, but forming high-Mg carbonatitic melt at the top of the asthenosphere and its trapping in diamond after minimal crystallization in the lithosphere may solve them.

The geochemical values reveal broad trends of decreasing concentrations of compatible elements with MgO, Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>, FeO, MnO, CaO, Co, Sr, and Zn, as well as increasing amounts of incompatible contents (Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> and Na<sub>2</sub>O) with increasing SiO<sub>2</sub> content. These geochemical characteristics are shared by Dokhan volcanics and associated Hammamat clastic sediments from Sinai and the Eastern Desert of Egypt. The geochemical behavior of Wadi Kid Dokhan volcanics is characterized by both orogenic arc-type and anorogenic within-plate tectonic environments. The magma types of Dokhan volcanics tend to have metaluminous to peraluminous, medium- to high-K calc-alkaline affinities. Meanwhile, the basaltic rocks are of tholeiitic origin. The lava flow of the medium- to high-K calc-alkaline post-collisional Dokhan volcanics shows a tectonomagmatic transition between the calc-alkaline arc-related magmatism and the alkaline anorogenic magmatism. The Dokhan volcanics in Sinai that were the focus of the inquiry exhibit a broad, evolving compositional range (rhyolite-basalt). A typical rhyolitic composition with an average silica concentration (69.5–70.9 wt%), an average andesitic content (57.3–58.6 wt%), and an average basaltic content (47.8 wt%) is also present in the Dokhan volcanics from the Eastern Desert of Egypt.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":18547,"journal":{"name":"Mineralogy and Petrology","volume":"119 2","pages":"259 - 278"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145144684","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
