younger epochs of kimberlite magmatism in comparison with more ancient is
the increasing thickness of depleted (pyroxene-olivine) pyrolite layer of the
mantle (restite). From the pyrolite layer the lithophile elements are taken away,
and the formation of kimberlite magma had originated in more deeper horizons
of the non-depleted mantle, composed by garnet peridotite and pyroxenite
(hypolite), where have been more favorable thermodynamic conditions for
crystallization diamonds (Krutoyarskiy at al., 2000).

EPOCHS Of FORMATION DEPOSITS OF LITHOPHILIC ELEMENTS AND
DIAMONDS
The epochs of display the diamond-bearing kimberlites have coincided with
the epochs of generation deposits of lithophilic elements, enriched by terra-rare
elements and rare metal. All of they are situated on the cratogene platform
structures of the Earth and have the age 2500, 1225, 625, 400, 225, 100 Ма
(Figure 2, Table 5) (Krutoyarskiy et al., 2000). The extraction of rare metals and
alkaline are proceeded by the deeply originated intertelluric fluids from the
pyrolite layer of the depleted mantle. These fluids have periodical arisen by the
degassing protonic hydrogen from the core of the Earth, which connected to the
adequated stage of tectono-magmatic activity. The new stage of the formation
terra-rare lithophilic elements in the same block of the earth's crust is possible
only in connection with a new stage of expansion of the Earth and the
appearance of new volumes of pyrolite, due to disintegration garnet peridotite
layers of the non-depleted mantle (Larin, 1980). At the same time in the non-
depleted mantle (hypolite) on depths of 170-250 km, arise the " hot points "
above the jets of protonic hydrogen and partial melting of the garnet peridotite
begins. As the result of this process within the upper mantle an alkaline-
ultramafic magmas and displays of diamond-bearing kimberlites and lamproites
are being form
