for generating the high pressure-temperature conditions scientists expect to see inside the Earth. A wadsleyite crystal ~ 40 microns in dimension will be sandwiched between the two diamonds. The major pale green mineral olivine in the mantle peridotite shown in the photo will transform into wadsleyite at mantle transition zone pressure temperature conditions.
