Mineral inclusions in diamonds may be synchronous but not syngenetic

Trapped mineral inclusions in diamonds give information on diamond crystallization and ages, under the assumption that they are syngenetic (formed simultaneously). Here, the authors show evidence that many mineral inclusions are protogenetic (formed at different times) thus undermining previous diam...
