-A suite of diamonds from the Sao Luiz, alluvial deposit, Brazil, shows an unprecedented abundance of (Mg,Fe)O (ferropericlase-magnesiowiistite - fPer) inclusions, which under normal circum-stances are most likely to be derived from the lower mantle. Furthermore, occasional colourless inclusions in the same diamonds have compositions of (Mg,Fe)Si0 3 and CaSi0 3, corresponding to those of the phases MgSi-perovskite (MgSiPvk) and CaSi-perovskite (CaSiPvk), which are also expected to occur in the common peridotitic compositions of the lower mantle. Aluminous phases in the same suite of diamonds include: (1) a phase (TAPP) of garnet composition, (Mg,Fe)AI 2 Si 3 0 12 but with a distinct tetragonal crystal structure; (2) an AI-rich MgSiPvk; (3) an Al 2 0 3 phase. Unlike the occasional and always magnesian fPer inclusions reported in diamonds from other localities, the Sao Luiz fPer have an extremely wide range of composition, with Fe 2 + /(Fe 2 + + Mg) ranging from 0.14 to 0.62. In some of these fPer inclusions very fine scale exsolution of a magnesioferrite spinel
