Diamonds are erupted to the surface of earth by volcanic pipes. When water flows over these pipes, diamonds are tumbled out and can be found in stream beds. They can also be found at the mouths of rivers that empty into the sea.

These diamonds are called alluvial diamonds. These diamonds have been removed from the kimberlite material that erupted with them, and are eroded by the flowing water. Often, this process takes millions of years.

Can diamonds be made of helium and hydrogen?

This could be a trick question. A diamond is an allotrope of the element carbon. In stars, which are giant fusion engines, hydrogen is fused into helium, and helium is fused into carbon. In a round about way, yes, diamonds can be made of helium and hydrogen. The carbon can be compressed and heated in a supernova at the end of its life, and diamonds can form. The carbon has to be transformed into diamond. But they diamonds are very, very tiny. Some meteorites contain thousands of diamonds, but they are so small that it is hard to see them with an optical microscope.


What is the benefits of the kimberley process?

The Kimberley Process helps prevent the trade of conflict diamonds by setting standards for the certification of rough diamonds. This certification process ensures that diamonds are sourced responsibly and ethically, thus protecting local communities and promoting peace in diamond-producing regions. It also helps maintain consumer confidence in the diamond industry by providing assurance that the diamonds they purchase are conflict-free.


How are diamonds made in a lab compare to diamonds mined from earth?

Mother Nature fabricates diamonds deep within the earth's mantle under extreme pressure and ultra-high heat. This is a secret process, Mother Nature being who she is. In a laboratory, high heat and extreme pressure are employed to fashion multiples of eight carbon atoms into the structure of a cube.


What is the name of man made diamonds?
