Diamonds are erupted to the surface of earth by volcanic pipes. When water flows over these pipes, diamonds are tumbled out and can be found in stream beds. They can also be found at the mouths of rivers that empty into the sea.
These diamonds are called alluvial diamonds. These diamonds have been removed from the kimberlite material that erupted with them, and are eroded by the flowing water. Often, this process takes millions of years.

This could be a trick question. A diamond is an allotrope of the element carbon. In stars, which are giant fusion engines, hydrogen is fused into helium, and helium is fused into carbon.

The carbon has to be transformed into diamond. But they diamonds are very, very tiny. Some meteorites contain thousands of diamonds, but they are so small that it is hard to see them with an optical microscope.
