Granite does not directly transform into kimberlite; rather, kimberlite is a type of volcanic rock that originates from deep within the Earth's mantle. It forms from the rapid ascent of magma that contains high levels of volatile components, such as carbon dioxide and water, which allow it to rise quickly to the surface. This process can occur in areas of tectonic activity, where the mantle material is brought closer to the surface, leading to the formation of kimberlite pipes that can contain diamonds and other minerals.
What else can I help you with?
What happens to granite if it is melted?
"lava"
What is example of igneous rock?
Basalt and pumice.
What happens if you heat granite?
I reiley don't know.
Do all volcanoes have kimberlite?
No, not all volcanoes have kimberlite. Kimberlite is a type of volcanic rock that often contains diamonds, but it is only found in specific geological settings. Other types of volcanoes can be composed of different types of magma and erupt different types of rocks.
Can granite make fuel?
Granite itself is an igneous rock ... it will not burn
How much kimberlite ore does it take to make 1 carat diamond?
Kimberlite is an indicator mineral for diamond, not the genesis of diamond, which is carbon. Individual diamond mines have varying ratios of kimberlite to diamond.
Does kimberlite react to acid?
Yes, kimberlite does react to acid. The carbonate minerals in kimberlite can fizz or effervesce when they come into contact with acid, indicating a chemical reaction. This reaction is due to the dissolution of the carbonate minerals in the kimberlite by the acid.

What happens after granite is mined?
it turns different colors
Where is kimberlite found?
Kimberlite is typically found in regions with ancient volcanic activity, such as cratons and continental lithosphere. Some common locations include southern Africa, Canada, Australia, and Russia. These regions have preserved the deep mantle source rocks that give rise to kimberlite.
Do all volcanoes have kimberlite?
No, not all volcanoes have kimberlite. Kimberlite is a type of volcanic rock that often contains diamonds, but it is only found in specific geological settings. Other types of volcanoes can be composed of different types of magma and erupt different types of rocks.
Are kimberlite rocks used for human purpose?
Kimberlite is the main ore of diamonds, but otherwise has little use to humans.
African diamonds are contained in what?
All diamonds are erupted to the earth surface together with indicator minerals, including kimberlite. Other minerals are present in fertile kimberlite -- containing diamonds -- and absent in sterile kimberlite.
