Where do chocolate diamonds come from?

Chocolate diamonds are a branded term used by Le Vian to refer to brown diamonds. These diamonds can be found in various mines around the world, including Australia, Africa, and Brazil. The unique color of chocolate diamonds is due to the presence of nitrogen during the diamond's formation process.


How are chocolate diamonds made?

Chocolate, or brown, diamonds are made just like any other diamonds, when carbon is placed under extreme pressure. The brown color comes, in most cases of natural diamonds, seems to come from distortions or defects in the crystal matrix. In synthetic diamonds, the brown color results from the presence of nickel and nitrogen atoms in the crystal matrix. Brown diamonds are the most common colour of diamonds found. 'Chocolate' is the name of one shade of this brown colour. All diamonds are formed naturally far below the surface of the earth and erupted to the earth's surface through volcanic pipes.


Does pressure really make diamonds?

Yes, diamonds are formed deep within the Earth under conditions of high pressure and temperature. The immense pressure exerted on carbon atoms causes them to bond together in a crystal lattice structure, forming diamonds over millions of years.


Can a diamond be created in any rock?

No. Diamonds are an allotrope of carbon formed deep within the earth's mantle under extremes of high pressure and temperatures. This unique combination is what forms diamonds over millions of years.


How do you make coal into diamonds?

Coal cannot be turned into diamonds through a simple process. Diamonds are formed deep within the Earth's mantle under extreme pressure and heat over millions of years, whereas coal is formed closer to the Earth's surface under less intense conditions. It is not practically possible to convert coal into diamonds in a laboratory setting.

Are Chocolate Diamonds a good buy?

Since Chocolate Diamonds brand of natural fancy brown diamonds are the higher color and clarity range of such stones and are mainly found in one location, they are much rarer than the white diamonds. Therefore the supply is much tighter than that of white diamonds. As more and more people hear about these delicious diamonds and crave them, their prices are bound to increase.


Are diamonds made from copper?

Diamonds are formed from carbon. Copper is formed from its metallic atoms. Both are formed deep within the Earth's mantle, under extreme pressure over millions, possibly billions of years.


How are conflict diamonds formed?

Conflict diamonds are formed like any other diamond: deep within the earth's mantel under extreme pressure and ultra high heat. It's only when humans become involved in the 'business of diamonds' that diamonds are labeled as conflict diamonds.

How are industrial diamonds formed?

Industrial diamonds are typically formed under very high pressure and temperature conditions in the Earth's mantle. They are formed when carbon atoms are subjected to these extreme conditions and transform into diamond crystals. These diamonds are then brought to the surface through volcanic eruptions.
