Where do diamonds really come from?
Diamonds are formed deep within the earth's mantle, and are erupted to the surface through volcanic pipes.
Are moon rocks more valuable than diamonds?
The answer depends on comparing two specific items: a moon rock and a diamond. Comparatively, there are many answers to your question. Each has to do with the composition of each item. For example, diamonds are valued by their cut, clarity, colour and carat weight. Moon rocks are valued another way. You can buy a 'moon rock' today for about US$45; you might find a tiny diamond for sale at that price, but more likely, you'd pay more for a diamond than for a moon rock if each item were the 'same size'.
How a diamond reaches earth?
Diamonds are formed deep within the Earth's mantle under high temperature and pressure conditions. They are brought to the surface through volcanic eruptions, where they are found in volcanic pipes or kimberlite deposits. These diamond-bearing rocks are then mined and the diamonds are extracted for various uses.
Are there diamonds or crystals on the moon?
From ExtremeScience.com: "Scientists estimate that about 50% of the moon's surface composition is oxygen, bound up in silicate minerals!" Even with extensive study, there have been no reports of diamonds or crystals in moon soil. Read more, below.
What is a cluster of diamonds called?
Loose diamonds are called loose diamonds. When set as a group, the term may describe the setting more than the stones, i.e., pave, which is a 'pavement' of diamond stones. Otherwise multiple diamonds are simply called diamonds.
What is the least likely place to find diamonds?
Outer space. No planet, no rocks. No rocks, no diamonds :(
Are diamonds made from rocks?
Diamonds are formed from carbon.
What kind of rocks are diomands?
Diamonds are the kind of rock that are diamonds
How did crater of diamonds get its name?
Crater of Diamonds is an ancient volcanic crater that contains diamonds in its rocks.
Can diamonds change into other rocks?
No.
Are diamonds a type of art?
yesAnother AnswerCutting diamonds may be a type of art. Raw diamonds look like rocks -- and aren't really any kind of 'nature's art' unless you find an appealing, naturally oddly shaped raw stone. .
Diamond falls under which category of rocks?
Igneous rocks are the category of rocks that contain diamonds. The two types of igneous rocks that form diamonds are kimberlites and lamproites.
What rocks have diamonds inside of them?
Diamonds are found in kimberlite and lamproite rocks, which are formed deep within the Earth's mantle and brought to the surface through volcanic activity. These rocks can sometimes contain diamonds as inclusions or as separate crystals.
Why diamonds are used for cutting rocks and glasses?
Diamonds are used to enhance cutting tools, because diamonds are the hardest mineral.
What are the hardest rocks in the world?
diamonds are one of them
Can diamonds cut rocks?
The short answer is yes.
Can metamorphic rocks turn into diamonds?
Yes, diamonds are formed deep underground under high pressure and temperature conditions. Metamorphic rocks are one of the rock types where diamonds can be formed, typically through the process of metamorphism of carbon-bearing rocks like shale or limestone. However, not all metamorphic rocks can turn into diamonds as specific geological conditions are required for their formation.
