Commodity
Diamond, Natural
Diamonds are a precious commodity that are formed naturally under extreme heat and pressure deep within the earth's mantle. It takes millions of years for these crystallized carbon structures to form. The primary source of natural diamonds is kimberlite pipes, which are volcanic rock formations that bring the diamonds to the surface.

Diamonds are a precious commodity that are formed naturally under extreme heat and pressure deep within the earth's mantle. It takes millions of years for these crystallized carbon structures to form. The primary source of natural diamonds is kimberlite pipes, which are volcanic rock formations that bring the diamonds to the surface. Once mined, natural diamonds are cut and polished to enhance their natural beauty and value. They are primarily used for jewelry, but also have industrial applications due to their exceptional hardness. The production process for natural diamonds is entirely dependent on natural geological processes, making each diamond unique and rare.
