Abstract

This paper shows that pegmatite formation starts with an input of supercritical fluids, visible by nanodiamonds, from the mantle into the granites, which lie more in the crustal regions. The Volyn pegmatites are generally large bodies and represent natural laboratories where unusual chemical processes happen. The formation of more complex hydrocarbons belongs to this process, which may be the basis for forming more complex organic structures like kerite.
