Abstract
High‐pressure carbonaceous minerals establish a link between one of the most abundant chemical elements and processes that occur at high pressures, either in the interior of the Earth or during shock‐metamorphosis in space or on Earth. Diamonds from the Earth's mantle carry inclusions of carbides, carbonates, methane, and carbon‐dioxide. These inclusions elucidate diamond formation and the carbon recycling in the mantle. This chapter focuses on these inclusion minerals themselves, the means of detection, and the reconstruction of pressure‐temperature conditions of their formation in the mantle.
