A craton is 'an old and stable part of the lithosphere' -- the earth's crust. One class of inclusions in the formation of the earth's crust when subductions of crust were folded into the deep, kimberlite diamond areas that lie about 150-450 K below the surface.

Diamonds as we know them are exploded to the earth's surface through kimberlite pipes, which are carrot shaped and widest at the surface.

Although not all kimberlite pipes are sources for diamonds, most diamonds are found in areas where kimberlite pipes occur.
