| Summary: | The search for diamonds in Greenland has resulted in the dis-covery of many new dykes of kimberlite and ultramafic lam-prophyre and, most importantly, in the acquisition of a wealth of chemical data on rocks and minerals representing mantle material entrained by the dyke magmas. The discov-ery of a diamondiferous sheet at Garnet Lake in southern West Greenland stimulated the research (Hutchison 2005). Over the past five to ten years, the Geological Survey of |
