The formation of monocrystalline (MC) diamonds is still debated.
We conducted the first systematic search for fluid inclusions in MC diamonds.
We examined 30 gemmy twinned diamonds with evolved nitrogen aggregation (high B/(A+B) ratio).
We found 20 microinclusions with compositions that resemble the fluids in fibrous diamonds.
This indicates that most MC diamonds grew from carbonate-bearing fluids.
