HANDBOOK ON KIMBERLITE EXPLORATION AND MINING
Kimberlite often contains fragments of upper-mantle derived ultramafic rocks, including xenocrysts such as pyrope garnet, picro-ilmenite, chromian spinel and chrome-diopside. Kimberlite may contain diamond, but as a very rare constituent. Two distinct types of kimberlite are recognised: Group I,
