Diamonds primarily form deep within the Earth's mantle, typically at depths of 150 to 250 kilometers (93 to 155 miles) under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions. They are brought to the surface through volcanic eruptions, which create kimberlite pipes. In addition to natural processes, diamonds can also be synthesized in laboratories using methods like high-pressure high-temperature (HPHT) or chemical vapor deposition (CVD).

What causes the pressure that allows diamonds form in the mantle?
Diamonds are believed to be formed about 90 miles below the surface of the Earth, in the mantle. So, the weight of the Earth above them creates the pressure to form diamonds.
Why are lab made diamonds not a mineral?
By definition a mineral must form by natural processes. Lab made diamonds are not natural.
Are diamonds and graphite both polymorphs of pure silicon?
No, diamonds and graphite are not polymorphs of silicon. Diamonds are a polymorph of carbon, while graphite is also a polymorph of carbon. Silicon does not form diamonds or graphite as polymorphs.
Do diamonds form deep within the Earth?
Generally, diamonds are formed in the Earth and not from Supernovas.
Do diamonds have a DNA?
DNA is a biological phenomenon visible through generations of reproduction. Diamonds have no generational cycle. Some diamonds, do, however, contain trace minerals that can be good indicators of their place of origin and discovery on the planet.

What causes the pressure that allows diamonds to form in?
The weight of the rocks in the crust and upper mantle results in the pressure that allows diamonds to form.
Where did diamonds come form?
All diamonds come from deep within the earth's core.
