Olivine inclusion in Orthopyroxene 1

Description

Thre is no decrepitation haros around inclusions, but there are fluid inclusions between olivine inclusions and host orthopyroxene that partially wet the grain boundary. The presence of fluids wetting between mineral inclusions and host minerals has been reported in previous studies, e.g., Nimis et al. (2016) identified the presence of Si2O(OH)6 and Si(OH)4 containing aqueous fluids at the boundary between olivine inclusions and host diamond.
