ALKALI-CONTAINING MINERALS WITHIN MELT INCLUSIONS IN OLIVINE OF MANTLE XENOLITHS FROM BULTFONTEIN KIMBERLITE PIPE (KAAPVAAL CRATON): EVIDENCE ON HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF ALKALIS IN KIMBERLITE MELTS

The study reports the mineral assemblage of the crystallized secondary melt inclusions in the olivine of sheared peridotites xenoliths from Bultfontein kimberlite pipe (Kaapvaal Craton, South Africa). In this type of xenoliths, the inclusions may correspond in composition to primitive kimberlite mel...
