The Luobusha ophiolitic body containing a group of mantle minerals crops out along the Indu-Yarlunzangbu suture zone, and lies about 200km to the southeast of Lhasa. The Luobusha massif consists predominantly of mantle harzburgite, cumulate and serpentinite melange. A group of deep mantle minerals including about 60~70 kinds of minerals containing diamond has been discovered in podiform chromite deposits in the Luobusha ophiolitec mantle harzburgite. In this paper,the authors introduce several important minerals in podiform\|chromite ores, such as diamond, moissanite, Cr-rich chromite, Si-rich enstatite, Mg-rich olivine, zircon, Si-Mg spinel, octahedral silicate and micro-explosion of hydrous silicate. The information on the above minerals is of significance for study of deep mantle. About 60-70 kinds of the minerals are in the list:Native elements:diamond,graphite,gold,copper,iron,nickle,silicon,chromium,alumium,tungsten,zinc,lead,tin;PGE minerals:iridosmine,osmiridium,Ir-Os-Ru,Os-Ir,Ir-Ru,Ir-Os-sulfide;Alloys:FeSi,FeNi,SiC,CrC,NiC,NiCrC,Ag-Au,Au-Ag,Ag-Sn,AlFe,IrFe,NiFeCr,NiIrFe,FeC,Fe-Pt-Pd;Sulphides:pyrite,arsenopyrite,pentlandite,sphalerite,galena,matraite;Oxides:chromite,chrundum,rutile,periclase,wuestite,(MnFe)O,SiO 2,CaO;Phosphates:apatite;Sulfates:celestite;Silicates:olivine,enstatite,Cr-diopside,zircon,sphene,sillimantite,gehlenite,wollastonite,amphibole,muscovite,biotite,phlogopite,uvarovite,almandine,Cr-chlorite,serpentite,octehedral psuedomorph serpentine,octehedral psuedomorph chlorite;Carbonates:dolomite,calcite.
