No, natural diamonds only form deep in the mantle just above the liquid core where both pressure and temperature are high enough to stabilize the crystal structure of diamond.

Yes, "genuine" and "real" diamonds typically refer to diamonds that are naturally formed in the Earth's crust. Synthetic or lab-created diamonds are not considered genuine or real in the traditional sense, even though they have the same chemical composition as natural diamonds.


Is diamonds from carbon using heat and pressure are made of glass?

No, diamonds are not made of glass. Diamonds are formed deep within the Earth's crust under extreme heat and pressure, while glass is typically made by melting silica sand at high temperatures. Diamonds are composed of carbon atoms arranged in a crystal lattice structure, while glass is an amorphous solid made up of silica, soda, and lime.

How are diamonds naturally formed in the Earth's crust?

Diamonds are formed deep within the Earth's mantle under high pressure and temperature conditions. Carbon atoms are arranged in a crystal lattice structure, creating the hard and transparent gemstone we know as a diamond. Over millions of years, these diamonds are brought closer to the Earth's surface through volcanic eruptions, where they can be mined.
