Mineralogy of garnets from the Jubileinaya kimberlite pipe and Ottorzhenets kimberlite body
The article presents results of a study of the chemical composition of garnet xenocry-stals from a concentrate of the heavy fraction of kimberlites from the Yubileinaya pipe and Ottorzhenets kimberlite body. Samples from porphyry kimberlites and autolithic kimberlite breccias were taken for analysis from the Yubileinaya pipe.

Platinum-group element contents of Karelian kimberlites: implications for the PGE budget of the sub-continental lithospheric mantle [PDF]
We present high-precision isotope dilution data for Os, Ir, Ru, Pt, Pd and Re in Group I and Group II kimberlites from the Karelian craton, as well as 2 samples of the Premier Group I kimberlite pipe from the Kaapvaal craton. The samples have, on average,

Material aspects of kimberlite rocks productivity
Most of investigated kimberlite diatremes of the Siberian platform represent multiphase pipes. Each magmatic phase of intrusion, formed inside diatremes, is composed by kimberlites with specific petrographic and petrochemical type possessing a number of ...
