Cómo se forman los diamantes

Diamonds originate from igneous rock called kimberlite, forming under extreme heat and pressure in the Earth's mantle billions of years ago. They are transported to the surface during volcanic eruptions through the Kimberlite pipeline. Once mined, diamonds are cut and polished to enhance their reflective properties. Their ancient origins and rarity make them highly valued.
