In the 1948 novel by William Pène du Bois, named The Twenty-One Balloons, his protagonist "...discovers that the island [of Krakatoa] is populated by twenty families sharing the wealth of a secret diamond mine - by far the richest in the world - which they operate as a cartel."

This is a work of fiction. Although diamonds erupt to the earth's surface by way of volcanic action, there is no proof that there are diamonds involved in the volcanic action of Krakatoa.
