The mineral diamond is found on earth where volcanic pipes have blasted it to the surface from where it is formed, deep within the earth's mantel. Diamonds have been found in India, Africa -- several countries -- Brazil, Canada, Australia and even in the United States.
Geologists find 'trace minerals', including kimberlite, that may indicate -- about one in 200 times -- that diamonds are included in the volcanic situation.
When water flows over the top of a diamond-producing volcanic pipe and tumbles diamond stones along, diamonds can be found in riverbeds, or at the mouths of rivers as they empty into salt water.
When a productive volcanic pipe is located, the land owner may choose to mine the area for diamonds.

∙ 11y agoDiamonds are found in many localities, both overseas and in the US. While most of the gemstone grade diamonds do come from South Africa, diamonds are found everywhere but in Europe and Antarctica. One of the most surprising areas to find diamonds are in North America: the United States and Canada.
Diamonds are found on continents and are associated with past volcanic activity. Cratons, which are the oldest parts of a continent, are especially favorable for hosting diamonds because they are older than the newer crust.

∙ 8y agoDiamonds are found on the surface of the earth, at the tops of volcanic pipes, which erupt them to the surface.
Diamonds are also found in riverbeds that flow over these pipes, and the running water tumbles the diamonds loose from the kimbrlite that was erupted with them. As well, diamonds are found at the mouths of rivers as they empty into the sea. These are called alluvial diamonds.
Diamonds are found on every continent on earth, except Antarctica and Europe.

What landform are diamonds found?
Diamonds are erupted to the earth's surface by way of volcanic pipes.
Can you keep the diamonds found in the Crater of Diamonds State Park?
Yes, you can keep whatever you find there. Most diamonds are about the size of match heads, some as large as peas. A few larger stones have also been found.
Is diamond found in granite?
No. Diamonds are found with trace minerals in volcanic pipes, which geologically are not where granite is formed. (Granite is formed from silicate; diamonds are formed from carbon.)
Where are diamonds not found?
Diamonds are not found in a great many different places. Diamonds are not found floating in the ocean for example.
Can diamonds be found underground?
Yes, diamonds can be found underground. In fact, most diamonds are mined from the earth.
What are diamonds commonly found in?
Diamonds are commonly found in volcanic pipes.
Are diamonds found in NZ?
No, no natural diamonds are found in New Zealand.
When was the last time diamonds were found?
Diamonds are continuously being found around the world, so there is no specific "last time" that they were found. The mining of diamonds happens on an ongoing basis in various countries where they are naturally occurring.
