There is no standard for how deep a mine can go when it 'runs out' of diamonds. You can review the material, below, to understand more fully how deep the largest diamond mine drills into the earth.
As well, alluvial diamonds -- diamonds pushed along by the flow of water over the tops of diamond-bearing volcanic pipes -- can be picked up in riverbeds in some places.

What are unformed diamonds?
Unformed diamonds deep underground are carbon atoms. Uncut and unpolished diamonds are rocks mined from the earth.
Why are diamonds found in kimberlite rock?
Apparently kimberlite pipes -- that can contain diamonds -- are volcanic formations that begin deep within the earth's mantle. Because diamonds and kimberlite -- and other semi-precious gems -- are formed in similar locations, some kimberlite rock contains diamonds. You can read more, below.
Where are the diamonds found?
The mineral diamond is found on earth where volcanic pipes have blasted it to the surface from where it is formed, deep within the earth's mantel. Diamonds have been found in India, Africa -- several countries -- Brazil, Canada, Australia and even in the United States. Geologists find 'trace minerals', including kimberlite, that may indicate -- about one in 200 times -- that diamonds are included in the volcanic situation. When water flows over the top of a diamond-producing volcanic pipe and tumbles diamond stones along, diamonds can be found in riverbeds, or at the mouths of rivers as they empty into salt water. When a productive volcanic pipe is located, the land owner may choose to mine the area for diamonds.
Do all volcanoes have diamonds?
No volcano produces diamonds. Diamonds are erupted to the surface of the earth through volcanic pipes, which look like upside-down volcanoes. These pipes erupt indicator minerals, some of which include diamonds.
Are diamonds found pure or in an ore?
The diamonds themselves are, well, diamonds. They're found mixed in with other rock, though.
Can diamonds be found in creeks?
In rare cases, diamonds have been found in creeks. The rain water will push them to the surface. Usually the diamonds are mined from deep in the earth.
What land forms are diamonds in?
Diamonds are found in volcanic pipes, which erupts them to the earth's surface from deep within the earth's mantle.
How long until diamonds are gone?
This is an unanswerable question, since not all the sources deep underground that might produce diamonds have been found.
Where are diamonds found in the earth?
Diamonds are erupted to the earth's surface from deep within the earth's mantle through volcanic pipes. Diamonds are found around the pipes, in the pipes and in waters that flow over the pipes that propel diamond material downstream. Diamonds are found on every continent except Europe and Antarctica.
Where are usually diamonds made?
Manufactured diamonds are made in laboratories which attempt to mimic the extreme high pressures and temperatures found deep within the earth's mantle, where natural diamonds are formed.
Do you deep mine to mine diamonds?
You have to mine pretty deep for diamonds (if that's what you're asking)
Is diamond natural or man-made?
Diamonds are a naturally occurring substance found deep in the earth's crust.
What country are diamonds made?
Natural diamonds are formed deep within the earth's mantle, and erupted to the surface by way of volcanic pipes. Diamonds are found in soil on every continent except Antarctica and Europe.
In what part of the world can you find a diamond?
Diamonds are the hardest natural substance. They are found deep in the Earth's crust.. Australian and African are the world's largest source of rough diamonds. Diamonds are also found in Brazil, Canada, India, Russia and even USA -- in Arkansas.
Where do diamonds actually live?
No diamond is alive. Diamonds are formed from carbon deep within the earth's mantle and erupted to the earth's surface by volcanic pipes. diamonds are found on every continent except Europe and Antarctica.
Is diamond man made or natural?
Diamonds are a naturally occurring substance found deep in the earth's crust.
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.
