How Are Diamonds Created

The formation of DIAMONDS began millions of years ago. Kimberlite pipes enabled diamond s to be pushed to the surface where they were cooled. Kimberlites are minerals associated with diamond mining. diamond s are ground in ‘Blueground' of ocean floors, gravel beds or kimberlite pipes. ‘Blueground’ is the term used when referring to a layer of non-oxidised kimberlite. diamond s can only be created under intense geological conditions. The pressure is 50,000 times atmospheric pressure and the temperature is more than 800ºC. These conditions can only be found 150km to 200km below the Earths surface. Underneath continents is naturally where diamond s are created and not under sea beds. Cratons exist underneath the middle of continents. Cratons are deep roots of mature continental crust. diamond s are formed near the bottom of the plates while the cratons are forming. diamond s may exist for billions of years before they emerge on the surface of the Earth. There are several ways in which diamond s can be brought to the Earths surface. The first of which is in mountain ranges i.e. Himalayas and Alps, when one continental plate collides with another this can result in one continental plate being forced up above another plate this can bring diamond s to the surface of the Earth. The second being a volcanic eruption where diamond s can be brought to the surface when lava forces its way through. The volcano becomes inactive as the plates move to create newer active volcanoes. When the inactive volcano cools it leaves behind pikes some but not all have diamond s in them. There are also diamond s that are created in a laboratory these sorts of diamond s don’t cost the consumer as much as the mined diamond s. To the consumer the differences in these products are relatively insignificant as far as the eye can see. Costume jewelry is sold in bulk and is usually relatively cheap just as ENERGY DICTIONARY. The naked eye can often distinguish medium grade diamond s as not being the type mined. A great deal of discussion has been given to these lab created diamond s. A lot of misinformation about these gems is also known. Of the entire laboratory created diamond s 99% are sold worldwide of these diamond s are sold on polycrystalline on a molecular level. As a rule the highest gem quality of laboratory made gems are used when selling settings of 14K gold or solid platinum. The differences in the low grade gems compared to the high grade ones are minimal. The differences are usually in the way they have been manufactured i.e. the cutting and the polishing. If you put this is lay mans terms if you think of a smoothie maker, they can be made of plastic, or stainless steel. If you put the same ingredients in the higher price model of the smoothie maker then you will come out with a smooth well made drink. If you put them in the lower priced maker then you are more than likely to come out with a drink with bits in it. The same with diamond s if you go for the low priced ring the gem will probably not be of as good quality and the stone will have been glued in where as with the higher priced ring you are more likely to get a well manufactured gem that is in line with the mined diamond .
