New Diamond Research

I thought the report in ScienceDaily about the strength of diamond at extreme conditions was educational/insightful. Thanks for sharing the info.

Most natural diamonds are formed at high-pressure, high-temperature conditions existing at depths of 87 to 120 miles in the Earth's mantle. Carbon-containing minerals provide the carbon source, and the growth occurs over periods from 1 billion to 3.3 billion years (25 percent to 75 percent of the age of the Earth).
