Abstract

The petrological model of type IIa diamond formation is proposed. By the model these diamonds were formed from fluids on the last stages of kimberlite magma formation at 600–700°C and in the range of 20–30 kbar. The model explains the main specific of the type IIa diamonds. They are the enrichment of light carbon, low nitrogen content, the absence of silicate inclusions, the large size and cleanliness, a high degree of desorption.
