Natural diamonds are formed by compression (or pressure and high temperatures) of carbon over extremely long periods of time.
The kind you may be speaking of are super tiny and are found at sites where meteors hit earth. Near Chesapeake Bay, some were recently gathered from an old Clovis Indian site. Scientists were trying to solve the mystery of why the Clovis Indians seem to disappear instantly in this region. You may want to research nanodiamonds and "buckyball" fragments (bucky diamonds).
