Diamonds erupt to the surface of the earth by way of volcanic pipes, which bring not only diamonds, but other trace minerals to the surface.
Over time, humans spot either diamonds or the trace minerals on the surface and determine ways to follow the 'trail' of materials to the volcanic pipe.
Once the pipe is located, a diamond mine is established and the process proceeds to mine for diamonds.

What steps have been or are being taken to identify conflict diamonds and distinguish them from other diamonds?
Diamonds can be certified as non-conflict diamonds according to the Kimberly Process. In addition, some mines, such as those in Canada and Australia are not in conflict zones, which are found in Africa.
Where were diamonds found?
Diamonds are found in diamond mines on every continent except Europe and Antarctica. They are also found above ground having been deposited there by water flowing over the volcanic pipes that erupt them from deep within the earth's mantle.

Where are diamonds not found?
Diamonds are not found in a great many different places. Diamonds are not found floating in the ocean for example.
Can carbon be taken out of diamonds?
Diamonds are carbon, you can not separate the two.
What mineral do diamonds come from?
Diamonds are made from carbon, which is an element. They are made within "kimberlite" rock - I do not know if kimberlite is a mineral, or not. Sometimes, diamonds are washed out of kimberlite by the weather, and can be found in placer (PLASS-uhr) deposits, that is, at or near the surface of the ground. There are also diamonds found in meteorites that fell to Earth perhaps 3.5 billion years ago.
Can diamonds be found underground?

What are diamonds commonly found in?
Diamonds are commonly found in volcanic pipes.
Are diamonds found in NZ?
No, no natural diamonds are found in New Zealand.
