Are most most diamonds formed inside kimberlite?
All diamonds are formed from carbon. Kimberlite and diamonds are both erupted to the earth's surface via volcanic pipes. Kimberlite is an indicator mineral, increasing odds for geologists that a volcanic pipe includes diamonds: not all pipes erupt diamonds with kimberlite. Kimberlite can be considered a 'neighbor' or 'kin' of diamond, but not a source.
Can diamonds be found underground?
Yes, diamonds can be found underground. In fact, most diamonds are mined from the earth.
Where are diamonds found most?
Most diamonds are found on the earth and in the earth near indicator minerals, such as kimberlite.
Were do most diamonds come from?
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.
Is diamonds the most strongest type of rock?
yes...
What are diamonds used for most industrial or non-industrial?
About 75% of all diamonds mined are used for industrial purposes: they are not gemstone quality.
What is the large and end use of diamonds?
Most diamonds mined -- about 80% -- are used for industrial purposes. These stones add to the hardness and precision of tools and equipment.
Where do most industrial diamonds come from?
Industrial diamonds come from diamond mines, in fact about 75% of all diamonds mined are industrial diamonds.
What is a common use of diamond?
The most common use of diamonds is for industrial tools, because industrial diamonds are the most common diamonds.
Most industrial diamonds and other gems?
Most industrial diamonds and other gems are called synthetic
Can diamonds be used for tools?
Yes, most diamonds mined -- about 80% -- are industrial diamonds that are only used in tools. Industrial diamonds improve precision, durability, and use.
What is the most common diamond?
Industrial diamonds are most common.
What can be sratched by a diamond?
Diamond is the hardest mineral, so a diamond can scratch anything, including another diamond. For industrial purposes, most diamonds mined -- 80% -- are employed as abrasives.
Where is the biggest industrial diamond deposit?
Seventy-five percent of all diamonds mined are useful only as industrial-grade diamonds. This means that all diamond mines contain significant amounts of industrial diamonds. Until all the diamonds are mined and the mines closed, it's not possible to tell which mine has produced the most amount of industrial diamonds.
Most industrial diamonds and other gems are called?
Artificial?
How diamond is tranformed into a usable mineral?
Most diamonds mined -- about 80% -- are already 'usable' as a mineral: they are industrial diamonds. Manufacturers who employ industrial diamonds in their processes add industrial diamonds to tools, lenses, and other devices to produce tools of enhanced hardness, precision and durability.
What is the average size of a diamond?
Diamonds come in all sizes: 20% of which are gem-stone quality, the remainder are industrial diamonds. Most diamonds are tiny: gem-stone quality diamonds must be larger than most diamonds found, because of their use. Gem-quality diamonds must be visible, which is not true for industrial diamonds. Your answer, then, by logic, dictates that most diamonds an average diamond is much smaller than a pea.
