Diamonds are erupted to the earth's surface by way of volcanic pipes. Diamonds are mined from these pipes.

When water flows over these pipes, diamonds can tumble into the stream bed, and some diamonds are carried to the mouths of rivers into salt water. These are called alluvial diamonds.

The name of the diamond deposit, then, depends on where you find the diamanods. .
