The floor of heavier rock under the oceans is primarily composed of basalt. Basalt forms from volcanic activity and makes up the majority of the oceanic crust.
Basalt
Most basalt is found in the oceanic plates. Most granite is found in the continental plates.
It would form into the rock basalt, an extrusive, mafic, igneous rock.
Basalt rock with a layer of sedimentary rock overlaying that, covered with water saturated sediments.

Basalt is an extrusive igneous rock.
It is usually older than the rock layer it is found under.

Basalt
That rock was not Basalt, it was different. This is not a diamond, just a normal Basalt.
Basalt and igneous rocks were formed by what we would call magma/lava
Most lava forms a rock called basalt when it cools.
