In the mantle.
One example is diamonds, it is believed that natural diamonds form deep in the mantle (probably near the boundary with the liquid outer core) then were carried suddenly through the mantle and crust to near the surface in "kimberlite pipe" volcanic eruptions of deep mantle magma. As the volcano later erodes exposing the kimberlite pipe at the surface, diamond is mined from the rocks and/or are found scattered on the surface in erosion deposits.

Under what condition would water be considered a mineral?
When it solidifies into crystalline form (ice).
Is not an property of an index mineral?
forms only in a sedimentary rock
Is diamond a metamorphic rock why?
Garnet is a non-hydrous mineral, meaning it will form in environments where there is very little water. During the metamorphosis of a rock, as it's being squeezed and compacted by high pressures and heated by high temperatures, the water is driven out and the minerals that contain water are transformed to minerals with a different chemical composition that do not contain water, such as garnet.
What would happen if fluorine and neon came together?
Under standard conditions of temperature and pressure, nothing.However under conditions of unusually high temperature and pressure a metastable compound neon fluoride can form.
How do Stylolites form?
Stylolite results from compaction, textural instability and pressure solution during diagenesis and may be enlarged by subsequent groudwater.They develop under stressat site of textural heterogeneity caused by uneven distribuition of mineral grains of variable pressure solubility.
How does amethysts form?
Silicon dioxide (SiO2) is the chemical composition of amethyst. It is a mineral which is formed like anyother mineral under the earths crust due to heat and pressure.
Is a diamond metamorphic rock?
Diamond is a mineral that can only form under certain conditions of heat and pressure. Although it will appear in metamorphic rock, it is not itself a metamorphic rock, but a mineral.
Under what condition would water be considered a mineral?
When it solidifies into crystalline form (ice).
Do diamonds form under high or low pressure?
Diamonds form when they're under high pressure.
Where are the silicale mineral forms?
Most silicate minerals form from molten rock as it cools. Still other silicates form from weathered silicates at Earth's surface, while others form under extreme pressure from mountain building.

Is water a minaral?
Under the accepted definition of a mineral, water is not a mineral in its liquid or vapor forms, but it is in its solid form.
How would the earth's mantle react under gentle continuous pressure?
it will steady as liquid form and hot
How do you think the hardness and density of a mineral that form through metamorphism would compare to a mineral that form through evaporation?
By knowledge
What rock was Diamond transformed before being a metamorphic rock?
Diamond is a mineral form of carbon. It is not a metamorphic rock, but a mineral formed from extreme heat and pressure.
What would happen if fluorine and neon came together?
Under standard conditions of temperature and pressure, nothing.However under conditions of unusually high temperature and pressure a metastable compound neon fluoride can form.
