Minerals from > 200 mantle xenoliths from Komsomolskaya kimberlite pipe were studied by electron microprobe and LA-ICP-MS. They are metasomatised garnet and spinel peridotites containing phlogopite, amphibole and ilmenite with garnets (up to 12.5 wt% Cr2O3) and clinopyroxenes (up to 5 wt% Na2O) or rarer Fe-pyroxenites and A, B, C eclogites. Thermobarometry indicates that the lithospheric mantle beneath the Komsomolskaya pipe is layered. Heated porphyroclastic, deformed peridotites at the lithosphere base (7–6 GPa) are enriched in Fe. The cold group at 6.0–5.5 GPa (34 mW/m2) are depleted peridotites with sub-Ca garnets. Cpx-fertilized varieties belong to the middle part of the mantle section. Amphiboles range from Cr-hornblendes to edenites (2–6 GPa), showing K-Ti enrichment. Picroilmenites yield two pressure intervals from 6.5 to 5.0 GPa and from 5.0 to 4.0 GPa, forming two differentiation branches. Eclogites mainly occur in the lower part of the section with a peak at pressures of 4–6 GPa. Trace elements of melts that formed harzburgitic garnets-pyroxenes refer to oceanic MORB like melt interaction with peridotites. The sub-calcic S-type garnets are similar to subduction-related melts (S-type REE) with troughs in HFSE. Adakite-like hybrid metasomatism formed Na, Al-rich pyroxenes with peaks in Sr and HFSE. K-bearing pyroxenes and amphiboles refer to shoshonitic metasomatism. Trace elements for Cpx of re-fertilized mantle peridotites reveal high LREE, Nb-Ta troughs and peaks in Zr, Th, Sr, U. They are reacted to carbonatite –alkaline melts. Protokimberlite (essentially carbonatitic) interaction produced HFSE-enrichment. Type B eclogites show more subduction-related features with HFSE troughs while type A eclogites are closer to hybrid and peridotitic signatures. We suggest six types of major metasomatic agents. The 40Ar/39Ar ages of phlogopites vary in the 440–690 Ma range, with some at 1.6 Ga, suggesting multistage metasomatism.
