Olivine crystals in basalt contain helium that can be extractedfor isotopic analysis. Helium-bearing olivine phenocrysts inpicritic tholeiites from the Juan Fernandez Islands, SE Pacific,crystallized from moderately differentiated liquids. None arexenocrysts of mantle peridotite. The helium occurs in cavitiesor bubbles in inclusions best seen at high magnification inthe olivine. The olivine grew around spinel, sulfide, and bubblesthat preferentially nucleated on crystal surfaces. Inclusionswithin these phases range from large cavities to tiny, facetedpits arranged in rows. Many crystals contain curving trainsof inclusions along annealed features. The inclusions formedduring mixing between cooler differentiated magma and hotterolivine-charged magma, which accelerated vesiculation. Bubblesnucleated on the olivine as they do on ice when stirred in carbonatedwater. Mixing also induced thermal stress fracturing, like thecracking of ice dropped into water. Cracking, irregular extinction,and subgrain formation occurred when faceted crystals collidedwith each other or with conduit walls. Boundary layer meltsand bubbles were drawn quickly into the fractures. Thus fewinclusions contain equilibrium proportions of minerals and vapor.Mantle-derived helium clearly permeated into shallow storagereservoirs, including rift zones where magmatic differentiation,mixing, and vapor exsolution were fairly extensive.
