Preface
Diamond-bearing upper mantle eclogite rock has been found in 1897 at South African kimberlitic pipe. It is now appreciated that this eclogite represents the first natural sample wherein diamonds have been combined with the genetically associated mineral phases. Later on, the diamond-associated phases were discovered as primary solid, hardened liquid and volatile inclusions of the great diversity. Several tens of years of a purposeful and intensive analytic investigation of the diamondhosted mineral phases will allow the evidence of the multicomponent multiphase composition of natural parental media for diamonds and associated phases at 150– 800 km depths of the Earth’s mantle. And only in the last decade an understanding has arrived that a progress of the genetic mineralogy of diamonds and associated phases can be solely provided by a methodology of physicochemical experimental study of the relevant multicomponent heterogeneous diamond-producing mineral systems. The actual PT conditions at the upper mantle, transit
