Insights into kimberlite petrogenesis and mantle metasomatism from a review of the compositional zoning of olivine in kimberlites worldwide
Olivine is the dominant component in kimberlites (~40–60 vol%), where it occurs as individual grains of variable size (>1 cm to <100 μm) of xenocrystic and magmatic origin. Understanding the processes governing its compositional variations will provide unique insights into the genesis and evol...
