Redox-freezing and nucleation of diamond via magnetite formation in the Earth’s mantle
Diamonds provide a window into deep Earth processes and can be used to understand the deep carbon cycle. Here, Jacob et al. show that diamond precipitation can be triggered by the oxidation of pyrrhotite to magnetite at the base of a cratonic lithosphere, providing insight into diamond formation.
