It is found in rock VERY deep into the Earth which has been under an enormous amount of force for roughly one million years. It is also 100% Carbon, the same as Coal, so it is possible for Coal to be replaced by diamond.
But I doubt you will live to see it! :P

∙ 12y agoDiamonds form deep underground due to carbon remains of dead trees etc being put under immense pressure. Sometimes they can be found closer to the surface of the Earth due earthquakes etc moving them closer to the surface.
Another Answer
Diamonds are formed deep within the earth's mantel under immense pressure and extreme heat. Diamonds surface upon eruption through volcanic pipes.

∙ 10y agoOne hundred percent of the world's diamonds come from a depth of between 140 to 180 km within the earth's mantle and are erupted to the earth's surface by way of volcanic pipes.
Only one in 200 of these pipes produces diamonds. Volcanic pipes are being mined today in many countries in Africa -- Botswana being the largest producer there -- and in Canada, India, Brazil, Russia and Australia.
India or that general area. From the ground.

Why do diamonds form in the mantle?
Diamonds are able to form in the Earthâ??s mantle. This is because there is carbon and great amounts of heat and pressure.
What allows diamonds to form in the mantle?
Overburden or lithostatic pressure.
What layer do diamonds form in the Earth?
The vast majority of diamonds form within the Earth's lithospheric mantle at depths of around 150 to 190 km. Volcanic pipes bring them to the surface with kimberlite or lamproite in the pipes. Diamonds are formed from carbon.
What pressure allows diamonds to form in the mantle?
Overburden or lithostatic pressure.

Dust from diamonds is generated when diamonds are cut and polished.
Do diamonds have any elements from the periodic table?
Yes, diamonds are a form of carbon.
What time era did diamonds form?
Diamonds can form slowly under deep pressure, or they can form very rapidly like when a volcanic eruption occurs.
