Only in some. Most diamond mines are in or near formations called Kimberlite Pipes, which form as a result of a rather unusual type of volcanic acvtivty that has not beem witnessed in human history. These volcanoes do not form the diamonds, but rather bring the diamonds up from great depths.

Where are diamond mines located?
Many diamond mines are located in Africa. More specifically - near the southern coast and in the countries of the Angola, The Democratic Republic of Congo, Botswana, Sierra Leone and South Africa. Some of the largest diamonds have been found in South America including the Vargas diamond found in Brazil in 1938. The Argyle diamond mine in Australia is one of the largest sources of mostly industrial grade diamonds and fancy pink diamonds. There are also diamond mines in Canada, Russia, India and other locations on earth where volcanic pipes have erupted diamonds to the surface of the earth.
How do jewelers get the diamonds?
Diamonds can be cut with a diamond bladed saw, or with a laser, or they can be cleaved with a hammer and chisel.
Is oil based artist's paint in tubes considered flammable?

A network of fine tubes used for respiration by many arthropods?
Tracheal tubes
What plate boundary is not associated with volcanic eruptions?
Transform boundaries do not produce volcanic activity.
Does scientist pay people to go in volcanic tubes in search of diamonds?
all the time.
Are diamonds from carbon using heat and pressure naturally occurring?
yes, they form deep below the earth's surface and are erupted in volcanic tubes.
Why are rubies diamonds and emeralds found in volcanic tubes?
Many of these gems form a great depths inside the Earth, depths inaccessible to humans and their inventions. In some cases deposited of these gems coincide with areas of volcanic activity. The molten rock can carry the gems with it as it moves toward the surface.
What are diamonds commonly found in?
Diamonds are commonly found in volcanic pipes.
What is the Significance of volcanic neck?
there's diamonds and granite in a volcanic neck
How did crater of diamonds get its name?
Crater of Diamonds is an ancient volcanic crater that contains diamonds in its rocks.
Where diamonds are found are called?
Diamonds are found in diamond mines that circulate around volcanic pipes: mined diamonds.As well, diamonds are found under water where the water has washed over volcanic pipes that contain diamonds: alluvial diamonds.
How did agriculture create diamonds?
Agriculture does not create diamonds. Diamonds are formed deep within the earth's mantle, and are erupted to the surface by volcanic pipes. Agriculture may have revealed the top of a volcanic pipe when diamonds were discovered there.
Do diamonds come from the rainforest?
Diamonds are erupted to the Earth's surface from deep within the Earth's mantle through volcanic pipes. A volcanic pipe may exist in a rainforest: not all volcanic pipes that erupt diamonds to the Earth's surface exist in rainforests.
Where are the three most popular places diamonds are found?
Diamonds are found in mines, downstream from volcanic pipes that contain diamonds, and at the mouths of rivers that empty into sea water when these rivers flow over volcanic pipes that contain diamonds.
How did Crater of Diamonds Form?
Crater of Diamonds is the name of a state park in Arkansas that exists over geography fed by a volcanic pipe at some time during its history. Volcanic pipes erupt diamonds with other material to the surface of the earth from deep within the earth's mantle, where these materials are formed.
Do all volcanoes have diamonds?
No volcano produces diamonds. Diamonds are erupted to the surface of the earth through volcanic pipes, which look like upside-down volcanoes. These pipes erupt indicator minerals, some of which include diamonds.
