Description: This dataset comprises analytical, modeled, and imaging data of eclogitic clinopyroxene inclusions hosted in diamonds from the Cullinan Mine (South Africa) and the Rassolnaya Placer (Urals Mountains, Russia). Six inclusions containing varying proportions of spongy clinopyroxene (~10–100%) were selected to investigate the mechanisms of spongy clinopyroxene formation. In addition, we provide supplementary figures to Wang et al.(2025) to which these data are supplementary to. Major element compositions of the primary cores and spongy rims of clinopyroxene were analyzed using electron probe microanalysis (EPMA). Pressure–temperature conditions were estimated using conventional thermobarometry and pMELTS modeling, which was also employed to simulate partial melting of primary clinopyroxene and the compositions of resulting melts and spongy clinopyroxene. Raman spectroscopy, FTIR, and photoluminescence data were used to assess volatile contents and structural features. Back-scattered electron (BSE) imaging and CT scans provide 2D and 3D textural constraints. Data are organized into two main tables and ten supplementary tables (Tables S1–S10), which include sulfide inclusion compositions, Raman peak data, and modeling outputs. Fifteen supplementary figures (S1–S15) include BSE images, compositional variation plots, and CT scan visualizations. Two CT scan videos. All data are provided in open file formats (.xlsx, .docx, .avi), with accompanying metadata and documentation to ensure transparency and reproducibility. Data collection took place between 2023.06 and 2025.01, and no physical sampling campaign was required, as the materials were sourced from curated diamond specimens. This dataset supports the manuscript “Formation of Spongy Clinopyroxene: Insights from Eclogitic Inclusions in Diamonds” and adheres to FAIR data principles.
