Abstract/NotesSummaryExamination of some pyroxenite nodules from the Jagersfontein kimberlite shows that they have suffered variable deformation followed by different degrees of recovery. Most interes~ting of the nodules is the 'diallage rock', which consists of highly sheared and broken lamellar crystals of diopside containing exsolved enstatite. Petrographic evidence indicates a pre-tectonic exsolution of enstatite and a syntectonic exsolution of pyrope-almandine from enstatite. Deformation occurred in the mantle, prior to incorporation of the nodule in the kimberlite. Compositions of pyroxenes from the diallage rock suggest it re-equilibrated at a temperature of 1000° and at a pressure of about 35 kb. Olivine and phlogopite, accompanied by serpentine, occur only in broken kink-bands in the diallage rock and they are considered to be of secondary origin, precipitated from kimberlite magma at temperatures near 700°
