Best Answer

Diamonds can form under high pressure and temperature conditions found deep within the Earth's mantle, typically at depths of 140-190 kilometers (87-118 miles). This process usually occurs over millions to billions of years.

Do you breathe out diamonds in their gas state?

No, breathing out diamonds in their gas state is not possible. Diamonds are a solid form of carbon and cannot exist as a gas in the way that oxygen, nitrogen, or other gases do. This concept does not align with the properties of diamonds.


Why are diamonds that are made in laboratory considered to be minerals?

Diamonds that are made in a laboratory are known as lab-grown diamonds . These diamonds are considered minerals since they are optically and chemically similar to mined diamonds, formed by the same mineral known as carbon. The only difference between mined and lab-grown diamonds is where carbon is crystallized- the earth's crust or the lab. CVD diamonds look exactly like mined diamonds and sparkle like natural diamonds, which is why they are known as minerals. There is no chemical or visual difference between lab-created and mined diamonds.


What minerals cut diamonds?

Only another diamond can cut a diamond. Diamond is the hardest mineral on the Mohs scale, with a rating of 10, making it significantly harder than other minerals.


How rare are chocolate diamonds?
