The Formation of a Diamond: A Miracle of Nature

Diamonds, those fascinating and timeless gemstones, have an extraordinary origin that dates back millions, even billions, of years. Their creation is the result of an exceptional natural process that takes place deep beneath the Earth's surface.

How Is a Diamond Formed?

A diamond begins its journey approximately 150 to 200 kilometers underground. It is here, where temperatures reach around 1000°C to 1200°C and pressure is incredibly high, that carbon— the fundamental element of diamonds— is transformed into a unique crystal form. This crystallization process can take millions to billions of years.

 

Diamonds make their way to the surface through powerful volcanic eruptions. These eruptions transport diamonds through columns of magma, which later solidify to form volcanic pipes, often referred to as "kimberlite pipes." It is within these pipes that diamond deposits are found.

The Mystery of White and Colored Diamonds
