Hydrothermal ore minerals, which typically form from high temperature aqueous solutions, trap tiny bubbles of liquids or gases when cooling and forming solid rock. The trapped fluid in an inclusion preserves a record of the composition, temperature and pressure of the mineralizing environment. [1] An inclusion often contains two or more phases ...
In mineralogy, an inclusion is any material trapped inside a mineral during its formation. In gemology , it is an object enclosed within a gemstone or reaching its surface from the interior. [ 1 ] According to James Hutton 's law of inclusions, fragments included in a host rock are older than the host rock itself.
A calcium–aluminium-rich inclusion or Ca–Al-rich inclusion (CAI) is a submillimeter- to centimeter-sized light-colored calcium- and aluminium-rich inclusion found in carbonaceous chondrite meteorites. The four CAIs that have been dated using the Pb-Pb chronometer yield a weighted mean age of 4567.30 ± 0.16 Myr.
PubMed Central (PMC) is a free digital repository that archives open access full-text scholarly articles that have been published in biomedical and life sciences journals. As one of the major research databases developed by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), PubMed Central is more than a document repository.
Examples showing the imposition of the host diamond's morphology on the included mineral in syngenetic inclusions. (a) Inclusion of olivine in diamond with their faces imposed by octahedral (o) and cubic (c) shapes common in diamond. (b) Diamond with several olivine inclusions with faces parallel to the octahedral diamond face.

The black arrow points to one good example, but there are several others. The occurrence of multiple inclusions within a single crystal is relatively common. A melt inclusion is a small parcel or "blobs" of melt(s) that is entrapped by crystals growing [1] in magma and eventually forming igneous rocks.
Some garnet porphyroblasts contain curving trails of quartz and other mineral inclusions that record rotation of the crystals relative to their surroundings. However, the question of how much porphyroblasts actually rotate in an external reference frame fixed to the Earth's surface during metamorphism and deformation has long been the subject ...
