Full textThe Outoitspan Group 1 kimberlite pipe forms part of the well-known cluster of pipes located in and around the city of Kimberley, South Africa. Eight macroscopically distinct intrusive phases, i.e. D2 Type 2, D2 Type 3, D2/D5, D5, D18, Type 5, D16 and the D16 dyke are present in the Northwest Corner area of the mine. Microscopically they range from macrocrystic to aphanitic hypabyssal (magmatic) kimberlites with varying amounts of opaque minerals, monticellite and phlogopite. Olivine is the dominant macrocryst phase and alteration varies from unaltered to highly serpentinised. These intrusive phases also contain variable amounts of crustal xenoliths.

Full textThe Swartruggens (156 Ma) and Star (128 Ma) kimberlites are two Group II, diamondiferous, hypabyssal kimerlite dyke swarms, situated in the Northern Province and the Free State respectively, South Africa. Representative samples from all dykes exposed in the mining operations, the Main and Changhouse Dykes, South Fissure and the barren Muil Dyke at Swartruggens, and the Wynandsfontein, East Star, Clewer, Byrnes and Barren dykes at Star, have been analysed for their major and trace element contents and Sr, Nd and Hf isotope compositions. Primary kimberlite magma chemistry is subjected to considerable modification due to the incorporation of both mantle and crustal material during ascent to the surface, crystal fractionation, and post-emplacement alteration by deuteric fluids. This study aims to constrain the effects of these processes, and thus to identify least-modified, close-to-primary, parental magma compositions, with the view to understanding the source region characteristics of, and the petrogenetic processes giving rise to, these kimberlites.

Full textThe Rietfontein kimberlite is an off-craton kimberlite pipe, located west of the Kaapvaal Craton at 26.75°, 20.04°E and hosts a range of xenocryst lithologies, including peridotite, eclogite and a suite of megacryst minerals. This study focuses on a suite of eclogite xenoliths, which were subject to a detailed petrographical and geochemical study, aimed at their characterisation and comparison to eclogites from on-craton and other off-craton localities. Garnet, clinopyroxene, accessory and secondary minerals were analysed for major element compositions using electron microprobe techniques and garnet and clinopyroxene trace element compositions were determined by Laser Ablation Inductively-Coupled-Plasma Mass Spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) techniques. Oxygen isotopic compositions of five garnet samples were obtained using laser flourination techniques, followed by analysis by gas source mass spectrometry.

Full textThe eclogites are essentially bimeneralic assemblages of garnet and clinopyroxene. Thirteen xenoliths contain accessory diamond with graphite on diamond surfaces. One has accessory ilmenite. The rocks are well equilibrated and are classified as Group 1 eclogites, based on their mineral textures and compositions. The calculated equilibrium temperatures for the eclogites range from 1157 °C to 1245 °C, assuming a pressure of 50 kbar. Two populations of eclogites are defined in terms of the calcium content of the garnet, equilibration temperatures and trace element abundances.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: The common presence of large volumes of coarse-grained olivine in kimberlite magmas has been proposed to attest to the volume of mantle xenolith material that has been disaggregated during the ascent of the magma. Orthopyroxene should constitute 10-50 vol% of mantle xenoliths in kimberlites, some of which must be disaggregated into the kimberlite, yet it is typically absent. This work tests the stability of orthopyroxene in ascending kimberlite magma by conducting experiments at pressures between 2.0 and 3.5 GPa and temperatures between 1100 and 1300°C. The starting material consisted of natural hypabyssal kimberlite that is close in composition to primary group I kimberlite magma with 5wt% orthopyroxene sourced from a natural peridotite added. At higher temperatures and pressures it is seen that orthopyroxene quantities exceed that of the starting material, but at lower temperatures and pressures it is absent. These results indicate that orthopyroxene is not stable in the magma composition investigated within the shallower part of the sub-continental lithospheric mantle. Based on increased olivine volumes in the experiments where orthopyroxene disappeared, as well as textural relationships between olivine and orthopyroxene, it is found that orthopyroxene dissolution is incongruent along the reaction Mg2Si2O6 (opx) = Mg2SiO4 (ol) + SiO2 (in the liquid). It is concluded that this reaction leads to a maximum addition of 5.5 vol% peritectic olivine to the kimberlite as it ascends through the depths equivalent to a pressure window of 2.0 to 3.5 GPa.
