Within a diamond hauled from deep beneath Earth's surface, scientists have discovered the first example of a never-before-seen mineral.

Named davemaoite after prominent geophysicist Ho-kwang (Dave) Mao, the mineral is the first example of a high-pressure calcium silicate perovskite (CaSiO3) found on Earth. Another form of CaSiO3, known as wollastonite, is commonly found across the globe, but davemaoite has a crystalline structure that forms only under high pressure and high temperatures in Earth's mantle, the mainly solid layer of Earth trapped between the outer core and the crust.

Davemaoite has long been expected to be an abundant and geochemically important mineral in Earth's mantle. But scientists have never found any direct evidence of its existence because it breaks down into other minerals when it moves toward the surface and pressure decreases. However, analysis of a diamond from Botswana, which formed in the mantle around 410 miles (660 kilometers) below Earth's surface, has revealed a sample of intact davemaoite trapped inside. As a result, the International Mineralogical Association has now confirmed davemaoite as a new mineral.

is it me or is there a special energy to picking Dave as your english name. and also we'll name the rock Dave. all my colleagues will call it Dave, for ages. like he has to know. that vibe. transcends language. this person is a nerd. long live Dave

DAVEMAOITE. It's amazing. I hope prominent geophysicist Ho-kwang (Dave) Mao has a FANTASTIC day looking at interesting and possibly sparkly, hopefully not too radioactive rocks.

I don’t want to pollute an actual science post with startrekkism but Davemaoite just makes me think of Archerite.

Questo diamante del Botswana contiene piccole inclusioni di davemaoite. La perovskite di silicato di calcio (CaSiO3) è probabilmente la fase più importante dal punto di vista geochimico nel mantello inferiore della Terra, perché concentra elementi che sono incompatibili nel mantello superiore. Nessuno ha mai recuperato con successo questo composto ad alta pressione dal mantello inferiore. Questo…

Diamond Hauled From Deep Inside Earth Holds Never-Before-Seen Mineral

Researchers thought the mineral was impossible to find on Earth's surface.

— By Harry Baker | Live Science | November 11, 2021

Within a diamond hauled from deep beneath Earth's surface, scientists have discovered the first example of a never-before-seen mineral.

Named davemaoite after prominent geophysicist Ho-kwang (Dave) Mao, the mineral is the first example of a high-pressure calcium silicate perovskite (CaSiO3) found on Earth. Another form of CaSiO3, known as wollastonite, is commonly found across the globe, but davemaoite has a crystalline structure that forms only under high pressure and high temperatures in Earth's mantle, the mainly solid layer of Earth trapped between the outer core and the crust.

Davemaoite has long been expected to be an abundant and geochemically important mineral in Earth's mantle. But scientists have never found any direct evidence of its existence because it breaks down into other minerals when it moves toward the surface and pressure decreases. However, analysis of a diamond from Botswana, which formed in the mantle around 410 miles (660 kilometers) below Earth's surface, has revealed a sample of intact davemaoite trapped inside. As a result, the International Mineralogical Association has now confirmed davemaoite as a new mineral.

"The discovery of davemaoite came as a surprise," lead author Oliver Tschauner, a mineralogist at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, told Live Science.

Tschauner and his colleagues uncovered the davemaoite sample with a technique known as synchrotron X-ray diffraction, which focuses a high-energy beam of X-rays on certain spots within the diamond with microscopic precision. By measuring the angle and intensity of the returning light, researchers can decipher what's inside, Tschauner said. The sample of davemaoite within the diamond was just a few micrometers (millionths of a meter) in size, so less-powerful sampling techniques would have missed it, he added.

Davemaoite is believed to play an important geochemical role in Earth's mantle. Scientists theorize that the mineral may also contain other trace elements, including uranium and thorium, which release heat via radioactive decay. Therefore, davemaoite may help to generate a substantial amount of heat in the mantle, Tschauner said.

In a 2014 study published in the journal Science, researchers described another theoretical high-pressure mineral from the mantle, known as bridgmanite. However, the sample of bridgmanite did not originate from the mantle but rather inside a meteorite. The discovery of davemaoite shows that diamonds can form farther down in the mantle than previously thought, and it suggests that they might be the best place to look for more new minerals from the mantle, Tschauner said.

"The work by Tschauner et al. inspires hope in the discovery of other difficult high-pressure phases in nature," Yingwei Fe, a geophysicist at the Carnegie Institution for Science in Washington, D.C., who was not involved in the study, said in a related Science article. "Such direct sampling of the inaccessible lower mantle would fill our knowledge gap in chemical composition of the entire mantle of our planet." The study was published online Nov. 11 in the journal Science.

Gli scienziati hanno scoperto un minerale mai visto prima all’interno di un diamante estratto dalle profondità della superficie terrestre.

Sebbene fosse stato previsto anni fa, la comunità scientifica pensava che non avrebbe mai trovato un campione di questo sfuggente materiale. Il minerale, soprannominato davemaoite dal pioniere del geofisico Ho-Kwang (Dave) Mao, è il primo e unico esempio di perovskite di silicato di calcio ad alta pressione (CaSiO3) trovato sulla Terra.

La scoperta ha portato l’International Mineralogical Association a confermare ufficialmente la davemaoite come nuovo minerale.

Un minerale sfuggente si è formato nel profondo della Terra

Il minerale è stato rilevato all’interno di un diamante trovato in Botswana, che si è formato nel mantello a circa 410 miglia (600 km) sotto la superficie terrestre. Come punto di riferimento, il foro più profondo mai scavato dalle macchine umane è il Pozzo superprofondo di Kola, che raggiunge una profondità di  7,6 miglia (12,2 km). I diamanti si formano in profondità sotto la superficie terrestre prima di sollevarsi a causa delle eruzioni vulcaniche.

Sebbene un’altra forma di CaSiO3, wollastonite, sia abbondante sulla Terra, la struttura cristallina della davemaoite può formarsi solo in condizioni di alta pressione e temperatura incredibilmente elevate all’interno del mantello terrestre. Gli scienziati hanno predetto che la Davemaoite dovrebbe essere abbondante anche nel mantello terrestre, sebbene non abbiano mai trovato alcun viaggio del minerale a causa del fatto che si scompone in altri minerali quando raggiunge la superficie terrestre e le condizioni di pressione diminuiscono.

L’analisi avanzata porta alla luce il minerale nascosto

La davemaoite è stata scoperta all’interno del diamante del Botswana utilizzando procedure di analisi avanzate dettagliate in un nuovo articolo pubblicato sulla rivista Science. Il team di scienziati dell’Università del Nevada, Las Vegas, ha utilizzato una tecnica chiamata diffrazione dei raggi X di sincrotrone. Allena fasci di raggi X ad alta energia all’interno del diamante, consentendo agli scienziati di decifrare cosa c’è dentro analizzando l’angolo e l’intensità della luce riflessa. Si ritiene che la davemaoite possa contenere oligoelementi, come uranio e torio, il che significa che potrebbe generare una grande quantità di calore nel mantello, spiegano i ricercatori.

Nel 2019, la comunità scientifica è stata trattata con un altro nuovo minerale, quando è stato analizzato un pezzo di un meteorite di un milione di anni, rivelando un minerale alieno mai visto prima . La nuova ricerca dell’Università del Nevada sulla davemaoite mostra che probabilmente abbiamo una grande quantità di materiali sconosciuti sotto il nostro naso. Dimostra che i diamanti possono formarsi più in basso nel mantello di quanto gli scienziati ritenessero possibile in precedenza, aprendo una nuova vasta area di indagine per i geofisici.
