What mineral do diamonds come from?

Diamonds are made from carbon, which is an element. They are made within "kimberlite" rock - I do not know if kimberlite is a mineral, or not. Sometimes, diamonds are washed out of kimberlite by the weather, and can be found in placer (PLASS-uhr) deposits, that is, at or near the surface of the ground. There are also diamonds found in meteorites that fell to Earth perhaps 3.5 billion years ago.
