摘要
Based on the measurements of refractive index, specific gravity, unit cell parameter, and mineral chemistry and infrared absorption spectrum analyses of pyropes in kimberlites from China, systematic studies of the physical properties and compositional variations of pyropes of different colors and diverse paragenetic types, within and between kimberlite provinces have been undertaken. The origin of pyropes in the kimberlites and the depth of their formation have been discussed.
