How are natural diamonds created?
They are formed under a pressure of 600,000 tons per square meter, at a temperature of 1300°. These conditions start the crystallization process, which takes place at a depth of 150 - 200 kilometers below the Earth's surface. They are made up of carbon and impurities in the rock.
