Diamonds, like any other natural raw material, are mined from the earth, usually in cone-shaped openings.
You can see images of these openings, below.
All diamonds are erupted to the surface of the earth by volcanic pipes. Exceptions are diamonds that arrive on earth from unknown sources in space. Diamonds are found on every continent on earth except Europe and Antarctica.
The four main materials that humans extract from the Earth are metals (such as iron and copper), fossil fuels (like coal and oil), precious minerals (including gold and diamonds), and construction materials (such as sand and gravel).
A miner is a person who digs coal, bauxite, or diamonds from the earth. Miners work in mines to extract these precious resources, which are used in various industries like energy, manufacturing, and jewelry.
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.
Alluvial diamonds are those found under water having been washed away from the volcanic pipe where they erupted from the earth's mantle by flowing water. You can find alluvial diamonds in riverbeds or in the sea.

No, diamonds don't surround the earth's mantle. Diamonds are formed within the earth's mantle, and are rare.
Miners use various methods such as open-pit mining or underground mining to extract diamonds from the Earth. This process involves using heavy machinery, explosives, and other tools to reach the diamond-bearing ore located deep within the Earth's crust. Diamonds are then extracted and processed for use in jewelry or other industrial applications.
Diamonds are processed through various stages, including mining to extract rough diamonds from the earth, sorting to separate diamonds based on quality and size, cutting and shaping to enhance their brilliance and maximize their value, and finally polishing to achieve a smooth, shiny surface. These processed diamonds are then graded, certified, and sold in the market for use in jewelry and other luxury goods.

The earth is mined to get diamonds.
Diamonds are formed deep within the earth's mantle.
Shafts are dug to provide access to deeper layers of the earth where diamonds are found. This allows miners to extract diamonds from underground deposits efficiently and safely. The shaft also provides ventilation, transportation, and a way to bring equipment and workers in and out of the mine.
Geologists identify areas in the earth where volcanic pipes exist that contain 'diamond indicators', including kimberlite. Then, diamond miners mine the area for diamonds, usually using industrial-strength mining equipment.
Diamonds can be found on every continent on Earth, except Europe and Antarctica.
Diamonds have to be mined by humans
