About this ebook
Diamond Formation explores the fascinating journey of diamonds, from their creation in the Earth's mantle to their discovery as coveted gemstones. This book delves into the extreme conditions required for diamond formation, highlighting the interplay of geology, geography, and nature. Discover how these gems, formed under intense heat and pressure, act as time capsules, offering insights into Earth's deep interior. The book uniquely emphasizes the interdisciplinary nature of diamond research.
The book examines the mantle's crucial role, the volcanic eruptions of kimberlite and lamproite that bring diamonds to the surface, and the impact of plate tectonics on diamond genesis. Beginning with fundamental concepts of diamond structure and carbon sources, it progresses to detail kimberlite and lamproite formation, and concludes with the influence of subduction. Readers will gain an enriched understanding of Earth science and the processes shaping our planet.
