Summary

Graphite occurs in the Darkainle nepheline syenite complex, Somali Republic, as small drop-like grains in an altered ankeritic carbonatite; it has been recorded previously from carbonate-bearing nepheline syenites and kimberlites. Experimental evidence indicates that siderite decomposes to a stable association of magnetite and graphite within the PT ranges 500 to 10 000 bars and 455 to 745° C. The graphite in carbonatite and other alkaline igneous rocks may have been formed similarly by the decomposition of siderite or iron-rich carbonates.
