Barbara H. Scott Smith, Tom E. Nowicki, J. Kelly Russell, Kimberley J. Webb, Roger H. Mitchell, Casey M. Hetman and Jock vA. Robey

Glossary Including Shipping

"Publication of the Glossary is a gigantic achievement. Kimberlite geology has special challenges that warrant special solutions and that justify the use of special terminology. The glossary provides a systematic approach to kimberlite terminology that is both accessible and practical. The robustness of the approach rests on the fact that it works - no greater recommendation is necessary."

Prof Jocelyn McPhie, University of Tasmania, and Principal Consultant, McPhie Volcanology;
senior author of “Volcanic Textures”

"The Glossary is key to having a standardised logging system when working with kimberlites on diamond projects. We have the Glossary on site for geologists which helps produce quality data while creating more consistent interpretations."

Warren Riemer, Senior Project Geologist, Rio Tinto Exploration Canada Inc.

"A splendid and authoritative publication which sorts out many confusing concepts. I will use and recommend this Glossary."

Bram Janse, Diamond Exploration Consultant (retired)

"The Glossary has been a fantastic addition to standardizing terminology amongst our many kimberlite projects in Canada, as well as a great reference and teaching tool. After implementing it, we were able to describe these complex and unique rocks so that everyone within our exploration, mining geology and resource group, whether speaking English, French or Cree, could understand one another and work cohesively together when describing kimberlites. It’s a must have!"

Colleen Laroulandie, Project Geologist, Stornoway Diamond Canada Inc.

The Glossary of Kimberlite and Related Terms (Click here for an excerpt) is a comprehensive handbook for use in the investigation of kimberlites and related rocks by both the diamond industry and academia. Together with the companion peer-reviewed publication by Scott Smith et al. (2013), the Glossary presents a rationalised approach to kimberlite terminology with a practical, systematic framework or nomenclature scheme. The goal is to provide a standard that will enable (i) more consistent description, classification, interpretation and understanding of the complex and unusual rocks encountered during diamond exploration, evaluation and mining; and (ii) improved communication of that information including during diamond resource development. The focus of this Glossary is kimberlite, the most common type of primary diamond deposit. The same concepts, but not always the details, are applicable to other diamond-bearing rocks such as lamproite. Understanding and applying the terminology, classification and interpretation of kimberlites can be significantly enhanced with the unique hands-on opportunities to learn about kimberlites offered by Scott-Smith Petrology (Kimberlite Courses).

The Glossary of Kimberlite and Related Terms (ISBN: 978-1-7752806-0-6) comprises three stand-alone parts which are purchased as a complete shrink-wrapped set of three. Each part is black coil bound, printed double-sided in black and white, with some colour figures, on 28lb paper with 10ml waterproof and tearproof covers. Special orders can be placed (Contact Us) for any or all of the three parts with white coil bound, waterproof and tearproof internal pages as well as covers for more practical use for example when examining rocks with water during activities such as logging. The three part hard copy Glossary purchase price is CAD220 (excluding taxes; sales shipped to Canadian addresses will be charge 5% GST). The online purchase prices include North American or international shipping and handling of CAD30 or CAD90 dollars, respectively.


Part 1 - Glossary
144 pages – the complete Glossary with bibliography and references

Detailed information for 343 terms (~66,000 words) is presented in alphabetical order. Each term has a Definition, a Recommendation and where relevant a Further Clarification. Several tables and schematic figures are also included (see example below). The definitions are intended to be as simple and pragmatic as possible. The Glossary recommends that a number of previously utilised terms be discontinued, especially certain historical kimberlite-specific terms, and includes commentary on these, while a summary table of the recommendations is presented in Part 2.

 

Kimberlite Flow Chart


Part 2 - Practical Guide
59 pages - practical guidelines for the investigation of kimberlites

This practical guide presents (i) guidelines for application of the practical five stage Nomenclature Scheme involving progressive levels of investigation and interpretation (see Table below), (ii) guidelines for application of the Conceptual Framework for the Description of Kimberlite Components, (iii) recommendations for problematic terms, (iv) abbreviations for kimberlite terms, that are by necessity sometimes cumbersome, (v) terms relevant to kimberlites listed by topic, (vi) an overview of the kimberlite-specific abundance and size descriptors for kimberlite components, (vii) examples of the application of the Nomenclature Scheme, (viii) an overview of kimberlite body and pipe zone terminology, and (ix) a Glossary Subset with definitions for only the main recommended terms relevant to kimberlites (158 terms).

Kimberlite Progressive Interpretation


Part 3 - Abundance and Size Descriptors
56 pages – guidelines for the application of kimberlite-specific descriptors

Detailed guidelines are presented for the application of economically-relevant kimberlite-specific abundance and size descriptors for the main components in kimberlites - crystals (mainly olivine), magmaclasts, accretionary clasts, interstitial matrix, xenoliths, autoliths and epiclasts. Self-explanatory summaries, relevant definitions from Part 1 and compilations of tables and diagrams are included, as well as a range of to-scale diagrammatic illustrations for determining visual abundance and size estimates (see example below). Part 3 is a useful companion for drillcore logging and helps to improve accuracy of macroscopic observations, especially critical for economic investigations.

Barbara Scott Smith Publications

Throughout her career Barbara Scott Smith and colleagues have published on kimberlite and related rock geology, including over forty-five peer reviewed papers. Topics include the mineralogy and petrology of kimberlite, lamproite and related rocks, rock type or parental magma classifications and terminology, geological models of kimberlite pipes and sheets, near surface emplacement, volcanology and textural classifications and related terminology. Most of the publications are relevant to the evaluation, resource estimation and assessment of the economic potential and mining of primary diamond deposits. Below is a full list of publications which is also available as a downloadable file below.
