A Look at Kimberlites: The Volcanoes that Carry Diamonds | GIA Knowledge Sessions Webinar Series
GIA Knowledge Sessions Webinar - recorded live on March 25, 2021.
Natural diamonds crystallize at great depths, far deeper than we can dig or drill into the Earth. So how is it that diamonds can be found among us? The answer lies in rare and unusual volcanoes called kimberlites. These deeply-seated volcanic eruptions can sometimes pick up diamonds, along with other minerals and rock fragments, and blast them to the top. Think of kimberlites as elevators that diamonds use to ride up to Earth’s surface! Tune in as GIA Research Scientist Dr. Evan Smith digs deeper into these super-charged volcanoes and uncovers the role they play, not just in transporting gem diamonds, but in revealing the geological workings of the Earth.
