davemaoite found on Earth’s lower mantle

Earth’s lower mantle is the area between the planet’s core and crust. Scientists have discovered for the first time a new mineral encased within a diamond from over 600km deep within the Earth’s lower mantle, which they say should’ve fallen apart before reaching the surface. The newly discovered mineral – named davemaoite – could survive such tremendous pressure change as it was encased within a diamond. Are you surprised with the new discovery ?
