Abstract
The first results of study of minerals and diamonds of diamond-bearing eclogites from kimberlites of the Yubileinaya pipe with a variable percent amount of clinopyroxene and garnet are presented. Samples with a garnet content from 30 to 90% of the xenolith volume are dominant among the round to oval xenoliths with diamonds. Five eclogite samples contain grains of accessory rutile, as well as corundum and kyanite. Some samples host two or more diamond crystals.
