Yes. You can consider diamonds 'Natural Resources' much the same as trees in the forest or coal in the veins of geography. They are formed deep below the earth's surface and erupt to be found by humans via volcanic pipes.

Are diamonds considered organic?

No, diamonds are not considered organic because they are formed from inorganic carbon material under high pressure and temperature deep within the Earth's mantle.


How do you extract diamonds from the earth?

Diamonds are extracted from the Earth through mining processes such as open-pit mining or underground mining. Once the diamond-containing ore is mined, it is processed to separate the diamonds from the surrounding rock and soil. This typically involves crushing and sorting the ore to extract the diamonds.


How much diamonds are on earth?

There is an estimated total of about 1,200,000,000,000 carats of diamonds on Earth, which is roughly equivalent to 240,000 metric tons. Most of these diamonds are located deep within the Earth's mantle and are not easily accessible.


Where are diamonds found in the earth?

Diamonds are erupted to the earth's surface from deep within the earth's mantle through volcanic pipes. Diamonds are found around the pipes, in the pipes and in waters that flow over the pipes that propel diamond material downstream. Diamonds are found on every continent except Europe and Antarctica.


What causes the pressure that allows diamonds to form in the Earth's mantle?

The high pressure that allows diamonds to form in the Earth's mantle comes from the weight of overlying rocks and minerals pressing down on carbon deposits deep within the Earth. This pressure, combined with high temperature, causes the carbon atoms to crystallize and form diamonds over millions of years.

How are real diamonds obtained?

Read diamonds are 'obtained' from the earth, either through mining or through sifting of deposited material under water.


How is diamond extracted from the ground?

Raw diamonds are mined from the earth around kimberlite pipes that erupt this material to the earth's surface.


Is diamonds a raw material?

Yes, diamond is a raw material and is located deep within the earth's mantel.

What geological material are diamonds found in?

Diamonds are typically found in kimberlite pipes, which are vertical volcanic structures that bring diamonds to the Earth's surface. Diamonds can also be found in alluvial deposits, where they have been transported by rivers and streams from their original source.


Do diamonds surround the earth's mantle?

No, diamonds don't surround the earth's mantle. Diamonds are formed within the earth's mantle, and are rare.

Do diamonds come from organic material?

Diamonds are formed from carbon.


Is there another material that can be used for diamonds?

No, diamonds are formed from carbon.


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.
