Kimberlites &amp; lamproites are unusual igneous bodies having overall pipe-shaped geometries.  Their mode of formation is only moderately understood because they have not been observed forming.  Kimberlites &amp; lamproites are known from scattered localities throughout the world - only some are significantly diamondiferous.  Classic localities for diamonds are India and Brazil.  Africa was also discovered to have many kimberlites and is world-famous for producing large numbers of diamonds.  Other notable diamondiferous kimberlite-lamproite occurrences include Russia, China, northwestern Australia, and northwestern Canada.\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Kimberlites are named for the town of Kimberley, South Africa.  Several kimberlite pipes occur in the Kimberley area.  Kimberlites have a gently tapering-downward, pipe-shaped cross-section.

The Noonkanbah Field consists of over two dozen individual lamproitic intrusions of late Early Miocene age (18-20 m.y.).

It is composed of madupite, the rarest type of lamproite.  The rocks are referred to as diopside lamproites.  Pilot Butte madupite is composed of phlogopite mica, diopside pyroxene, leucite, magnophorite (= titanian potassic richterite amphibole), apatite, magnetite, and perovskite.  The diopside occurs as microphenocrysts.  The phlogopite is poikilitic around the diopside phenocrysts.  Some glassy material is also present.  Chemical analyses show that madupite is ultramafic (~42.6 to ~43.6 wt.% silica), magnesium-rich (~11 wt.%), calcium-rich (~12 wt.%), potassium-rich (~7 to 8 wt.%), and sodium-poor.\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Age: Late Pliocene, 3 Ma\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Locality: northern flanks of Pilot Butte, southwestern Leucite Hills Volcanic Province, 8 miles northwest of the town of Rock Springs, Sweetwater County, southwestern Wyoming, USA (vicinity of 41° 38' 43.76\" North latitude, 109° 20' 53.51\" West longitude)\n\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Chr>\n\u003Cp>Synthesized from info. in:\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Barton, M. &amp; D.L.
