The Origins of Natural Diamonds, 1st Edition, frames diamond formation, evolution, and production within the broader context of terrestrial geological history. Written by N. O. Sorokhtin, the text connects planetary processes directly to the emergence of primary mineral deposits.
The work addresses major parameters and existing theories surrounding diamond-bearing and affine rocks. It investigates global events including core formation, tectonic activity, crust evolution, and mantle degassing alongside the generation of economic minerals.
Serving as a practical guide, the volume supports geologists, geophysicists, and engineers across multiple disciplines, especially those in mining and petroleum engineering.
