Metamorphic microdiamond formation is controlled by water activity, phase transitions and temperature
Abstract Metamorphic diamonds hosted by major and accessory phases in ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) metamorphic terranes represent important indicators of deep subduction and exhumation of continental crust at convergent plate boundaries. However, their nucleation and growth mechanisms are not well under...
