 Diamond - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lonsdaleite is a polymorph of diamond (and a distinct mineral species) that crystallizes with hexagonal symmetry.
These rocks are characteristically rich in magnesium-bearing olivine, pyroxene, and amphibole minerals which are often altered to serpentine by heat and fluids during and after eruption.
Inclusions may be crystals of a foreign material or another diamond crystal, or structural imperfections such as tiny cracks that can appear whitish or cloudy.

 Diamonds | American Museum of Natural History
Diamonds with inclusions are like little space capsules from the mantle: pristine mineral samples are protected by the diamond's indomitable embrace and transported to the surface by a volcanic rocket.
Inclusions capture a picture of the rock and environment in which diamonds grow and indicate that garnet harzburgite (a type of peridotite) and eclogite are the most common rocks in which diamonds have grown.
Some inclusion minerals are virtually unique to diamond sources and are thus sought in the exploration for diamonds.

 8th INTERNATIONAL KIMBERLITE CONFERENCE (8IKC)
A data base of REE concentrations in 135 peridotitic garnet inclusions in diamonds derived from eight different cratons is used to assess the evolution of lithospheric diamond sources and to obtain constraints on the type of fluid/melt involved in the precipitation of diamond.
Inclusions in eclogitic diamonds consist of sulfide, garnet, clinopyroxene, rutile and ilmenite in decreasing abundance.
The diamonds inclusions are dominantly of peridotitic and eclogitic paragenesis, with subordinate contributions from websteritic and calc-silicate parageneses.

 422. Mineral oil (food grade) (WHO Food Additives Series 10)
There is evidence now that small amounts of mineral oil (2%) are absorbed as such by the intestinal mucosa and are distributed throughout the body.
Mineral oil passes through the gut wall unchanged and more is absorbed in the presence of powerful emulsifiers, provided that the particle size of the emulsion is about 0.5 µ (Frazer et al., 1944).
TOXICOLOGICAL STUDIES Special studies on carcinogenicity A wide range of fractions of mineral oil contain carcinogenic compounds especially higher boiling fractions of the range 300°-350°- 400°C as shown by skin painting of mice and rabbits (Cook et al., 1958) but refined material may be free from these carcinogenic constituents (Prigal, 1967).

 The Electron Microscopy Center @ USC   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
The results suggest that mineral inclusions in diamonds formed in an earlier stage, most likely, before the formation of kimberlitic magma, and most mineral inclusions in chromites, especially carbonates and hydrous silicates, were trapped probably during the stage of the formation of kimberlitic magma.
The chemistries and species of mineral inclusions in diamonds and in chromites suggest that the metasomatism became stronger from the source of diamonds to the source of kimberlite or that the metasomatism was started from the stage of diamond growth until the generation of kimberlitic magma.
The wide and diverse chemical compositions and mineral species of chromites and their mineral inclusions relative to those for the same minerals in the diamonds studied suggest a multiple origin of chromite macrocrysts in kimberlites at the same or different depths.

 Fluid Inclusion Laboratory
Fluid inclusions are therefore considered to be direct samples of the volatile phases which circulated through the Lithosphere over the course of the Earth's history, and their chemical analysis provides information on the composition and density of these geologically important phases.
The aims of petrography are to discriminate the various compositional types and generations of fluid inclusions in the sample of interest, to identify their mechanism of formation (primary, secondary or pseudosecondary) and their ages relative to each other and relative to the mineral parageneses in which they occur.
Inclusions in certain nominally "opaque" minerals can be observed in IR light, and their images made visible using a video camera sensitive to 1100 nm wavelength.

 Understanding The Mineral King Controversy
Mineral King is a spectacular secluded valley surrounded by 12,000' peaks in the heart of the southern Sierra Nevada.
The 1978 legislation which secured national park protection for Mineral King included two key stipulations regarding permit use: 1) Permits are to be granted only to the 1978 permit-holders; and 2) They may be renewed every five years until the death of the owner and his or her spouse.
They treat Mineral King as rightfully "theirs", despite the fact that the land on which the cabins are built has been public property since the 1860s.

 Abstact LXX, 2001
Fluid inclusion isochores were constructed and an equilibrium curve was developed (calculated using thermodynamic data in the KFMASH system) for a mineral reaction involving quartz and contact phases (andalusite, muscovite and mineral solid solutions: biotite and cordierite).
From lithostratigraphical considerations, microscopic investigations and microprobe mineral analyses, as well as stable oxygen isotope thermometry, these parageneses formed during a multistage tectonothermal event at a maximum temperature of 440°C and pressure of at least 3.4 kbar during the Brasiliano tectonothermal episode between 680 and 450 Ma.
Mineral relics present in the micro-textures of glassy materials (i.e., fining slags) have great archaeometric value, because they may indicate the provenance of raw materials.

The compositions of MI and their host minerals can be used to: (1) determine the partitioning behavior of trace elements into growing crystals, and (2) evaluate if chemical gradients (i.e., boundary layers) that developed during host crystal growth affected the compositions of MI.
To better understand the role of boundary layers during melt inclusion formation, the trace element chemistry of melt inclusions in zircon, allanite, plagioclase and quartz from the rhyolitic 74 ka Toba Tuffs of Sumatra, Indonesia were examined.
If melt inclusion scale (tens of microns) chemical gradients developed adjacent to the growing crystals are large enough to affect inclusion compositions, then this boundary layer effect should be most pronounced in the smallest melt inclusions analyzed because they represent the melt closest to the crystal surface.

 Gemology World - Can. Institute of Gemmology
Inclusions are generally randomly (irregularly) arranged in most instances - with no "rhyme or reason" being evident in their position within the Host Crystal.
In some instances, however, shore is often clear evidence that the inclusions are positioned in some definite relationship to the crystal structure of the Host Mineral.
This mineral contains carbonaceous inclusions which are regularly arranged in the shape of a cross (or other symmetrical shape formed of small oblongs or squares) when viewed in a transverse section of the Host Crystal.

Certain minerals, such as zircon and monazite, which form as common trace constituents in igneous rocks, have crystal structures which can accommodate varying amounts of the naturally occurring radioactive elements, uranium and thorium.
When these minerals occur as inclusions in certain other minerals, most notably the mica family, they are often seen to develop discoloration, or "pleochroic" haloes.
From this generalization, and without considering the variability in the density and the crystal structure of the host mica (or even the variable density of air), Joly attempted to correlate the radial size of the concentric ring haloes with the alpha particles of specific isotopes (he was first to suggest polonium).
