Abstract

This study continutes the work reported by Hall and Smith (1984). Further data on syngenetic inclusion abundances at Argyle has been given by Harris and Collins (1985).

Ellendale diamonds contain approximately equal proportions of peridotitic and eclogitic inclusions. The peridotitic suite includes olivine, chrome-pyrope, chrome-diopside, enstatite and chrome spinel. The eclogitic suite is dominated by orange garnet but clinopyroxine, coesite and rutile are also present. Sulphides occur in both parageneses...
