Diamonds erupt to the earth's surface from volcanic pipes. The pipes' spape is that of an inverted cone, the sides of which are mined in corkscrew-shaped circles. These diamonds are considered mined.
When water runs over volcanic pipes, diamonds can be moved along by the water and found downstream. Underwater, then, diamonds so found are called alluvial diamonds.
Some rivers run over so many pipes -- or such a rich pipe -- that when such a river empties into the sea, diamonds can be found by digging up the salty sand at the mouth of the river. These diamonds, too, are considered alluvial diamonds, although given the process and equipment used, could be considered mining.
