Geology Says Diamonds Are Not Geologically Rare – They Are Common Deep-Earth Minerals – but the Violent Eruption Required to Bring Them to the Surface Has Not Occurred Anywhere on Earth in the Last 25 Million Years

If you grew up thinking diamonds are rare, mystical treasures scattered sparsely through the crust, geology has a quietly shocking rebuttal: deep in Earth’s mantle, diamonds are probably about as ordinary as sand on a beach.
