No.
Diamond is the hardest natural mineral on earth, measuring 10 on the Mohs scale, where 10 is the hardest mineral.
Diatomaceous earth is a mineral formed from the skeletons of tiny marine organisms called diatoms.
Diamond fits the definition of a mineral in that it is naturally occurring, a solid, composed of an element or combination of elements, and has a crystalline structure. Many minerals contain carbon. Graphite, the mineral, is also pure carbon but with a different crystalline structure.
Large mineral crystals that are all about the same size are formed from magma that cooled slowly inside the earth. Small mineral crystals (not identifiable without a microscope) formed from magma that cooled rapidly, on or near the surface of the earth.
Organic matter was compressed and heated
Man-made diamonds are not considered natural because, by definition, a mineral must form by natural processes.

No. Diamond is a hard mineral, the hardest natural mineral on earth.
because it is made from the groung or earth.
Natural gas is formed far below the earth's surface by the decomposition of organic materials. Differences in the materials decomposing, time, and the depth and pressure involved in the decomposition determine whether the end result is gaseous, as natural gas, or liquid, as crude oil.
Because it was not formed by man, it was formed by natural events.
Diamond mineral is the hardest natural mineral on earth, which makes it the most durable of any mineral.
Diamond is the hardest natural mineral on earth, measuring 10 on the Mohs scale, where 10 is the hardest mineral.
Yes. diamond is a mineral as it meets the definition of a mineral. It is a naturally ocurring solid with a definite crystal structure and composition that does not arise from organic processes. In this case diamond is composed of carbon in a 3-dimentional lattice.___________________Another AnswerDiamond is formed from carbon, which is the most common mineral on earth. Why is it a mineral? That's Mother Nature's Secret and she's not forthcoming with the answer.
