Diamond miners and prospectors from around the world are always looking for the perfect spot to find their next fortune, a place where they can search through the earth’s crust to find a stunning natural diamond. But just how are diamonds created in the first place? Geologists believe that diamonds are formed in the mantle and brought up to the earth’s surface by deep volcanic activity. Diamonds are created by extreme temperatures and pressures from within the earth’s crust (approximately 150 KM below) at 1050 degrees Celsius.
Once the diamonds are formed and the eruptions occur they are able to come up to the earth’s surface in what is called the lamproite pipes and kimberlite pipes where miners are able to discover these extremely valuable stones. Once a diamond is unearthed, they are then sold to a jeweller where they are cut, polished, and created into the stunning diamond jewellery like diamond engagement rings, diamond necklaces, diamond rings, and other diamond jewellery pieces that you are able to purchase!
