Diamonds erupt to the surface of the earth by way of volcanic pipes, which bring not only diamonds, but other trace minerals to the surface.
Over time, humans spot either diamonds or the trace minerals on the surface and determine ways to follow the 'trail' of materials to the volcanic pipe.
Once the pipe is located, a diamond mine is established and the process proceeds to mine for diamonds.
You can read the article, below, to learn more about how diamonds are taken from the ground.

Can you find diamonds in the ground?
Diamonds are mined from geologic rock formations containing the ore kimberlite. The "pipes", or ore lodes, are found worldwide, in places such as South Africa, India, and Australia. (see the related link).
What do diamonds look like when they come out of the ground?
Diamonds come out of the ground looking like rough, unpolished crystals. They may appear cloudy, dull, and in various shapes such as octahedral or cubic. The raw diamonds have a rough texture and must be cut and polished to reveal their natural sparkle and beauty.
Why are diamonds only found in certain regions of the world?
Diamonds are typically found in regions with specific geological conditions, such as old volcanic pipes or cratons where the high pressure and temperature necessary for diamond formation can occur. These conditions are not common worldwide, so diamonds are only found in certain areas where these geological processes have taken place.
Can diamonds be found underground?
Yes, diamonds are typically found underground in the Earth's mantle, at depths of around 150-200 kilometers. They are brought to the surface through volcanic eruptions in a type of rock called kimberlite pipes.
Were on earth is diamonds normally found?
Diamonds are normally found in kimberlite pipes, which are ancient volcanic rock formations found in specific regions of the world such as Africa, Russia, Canada, and Australia. These kimberlite pipes bring diamonds from the Earth's mantle to the surface through volcanic eruptions.

How do you get rare diamonds in minecraft?
Diamonds can be found in Minecraft by mining. They are usually found in the lower layers of the ground, close to bedrock. Keep in mind that in order to mine diamonds once you have found them you will need an iron pickaxe (or better).
What steps have been or are being taken to identify conflict diamonds and distinguish them from other diamonds?
Diamonds can be certified as non-conflict diamonds according to the Kimberly Process. In addition, some mines, such as those in Canada and Australia are not in conflict zones, which are found in Africa.
Where were diamonds found?
Diamonds are found in diamond mines on every continent except Europe and Antarctica. They are also found above ground having been deposited there by water flowing over the volcanic pipes that erupt them from deep within the earth's mantle.
Where are diamonds not found?
Diamonds are not found in a great many different places. Diamonds are not found floating in the ocean for example.
Can carbon be taken out of diamonds?
Diamonds are carbon, you can not separate the two.
What are unformed diamonds?
Unformed diamonds refer to diamonds that have not been cut or shaped for use in jewelry or industrial applications. These diamonds are in their natural state as they are found in the earth, before any processing or refining has taken place.
What mineral do diamonds come from?
Diamonds are made from carbon, which is an element. They are made within "kimberlite" rock - I do not know if kimberlite is a mineral, or not. Sometimes, diamonds are washed out of kimberlite by the weather, and can be found in placer (PLASS-uhr) deposits, that is, at or near the surface of the ground. There are also diamonds found in meteorites that fell to Earth perhaps 3.5 billion years ago.
Are diamonds found in NZ?
No, no natural diamonds are found in New Zealand.
What are diamonds commonly found in?
Diamonds are commonly found in volcanic pipes.
Where are brown diamonds mined from?
The ground
When diamonds are in the ground what is the rock around it?
Some diamonds may be included in kimberlite.
