Diamond 'connoisseurs' prefer Type IIa diamonds, which are found in India and in South Africa.
Type IIa diamonds are the purest form of diamond, containing zero impurities. From Wikipedia:
"Type IIa diamonds make up 1-2% of all natural diamonds (1.8% of gem diamonds). These diamonds are almost or entirely devoid of impurities, and consequently are usually colourless and have the highest thermal conductivity."
The best diamonds are found in Africa due to the continent's unique geological history. Millions of years ago, volcanic activity brought diamonds closer to the Earth's surface in certain regions of Africa, making them more accessible for mining. Additionally, the specific conditions in these areas, such as high pressure and temperature, have contributed to the formation of high-quality diamonds with exceptional clarity and color. This combination of geological factors has made Africa a prime location for the discovery of some of the world's most valuable diamonds.
Some of the highest quality diamonds are found in mines located in countries like Russia, Botswana, Canada, and some regions of Australia. These areas are known to produce diamonds with exceptional clarity, color, and size due to the geologic conditions present there.
No, diamonds are not found in sea shells. Diamonds are typically formed in the Earth's mantle and are brought to the surface through volcanic activity, while sea shells are formed from the calcium carbonate shells of marine organisms.

No, no natural diamonds are found in New Zealand.
Diamonds are commonly found in volcanic pipes.
Diamonds are found below level 16 of the world.
The diamonds themselves are, well, diamonds. They're found mixed in with other rock, though.
Coal and diamonds are both forms of carbon.
Diamonds are found on every continent except Antarctica and Europe - so yes, diamonds are found in India.
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.
There are several companies that create synthetic diamonds or cultured diamonds. One such company that creates the best synthetic diamonds is New World Diamonds.
Diamonds are found on every continent on earth except Europe and Antarctica.
The Cullinan and Excelsior Diamonds were found in South Africa.
Diamonds are a rare mineral in minecraft found by mining. Diamond veins spawn once per chunk, and are found best on level 14.
