Diamonds are brought to the surface from the mantle in a rare type of magma called kimberlite and erupted at a rare type of volcanic vent called a diatreme or pipe. Kimberlite is a gas-rich, potassic ultramafic igneous rock that contains the minerals olivine, phlogopite, diopside, serpentine, calcite, and minor amounts of apatite, magnetite, chromite, garnet, diamond, and other upper mantle minerals. Upper mantle xenoliths are found in some kimberlite and provide clues to the magma's origin. The source depth for kimberlite magmas is estimated at 200 km, more than twice as deep as the source region for most magmas. At a depth of 200 km the pressure is 60,000 times greater than the surface and the temperature is about 1500 C. Kimberlite magmas are rich in carbon dioxide and water which brings the magma quickly and violently to the surface. Most kimberlites occur as multiple intrusive events.

Colored diamonds – known to elite jewelers as “fancy colored diamonds” -- are rarer and exponentially more expensive than their white counterparts. Fashionistas are drooling over the engagement rings of the stars. Celebrity brides-to-be have recently seen a 6.1-carat, pink diamond set in platinum, and a 10-carat marquise-shaped, canary yellow diamond.

Fancy colored diamonds, while rare and often more expensive than their clearer cousins, are not just for stars like Kate Hudson. You too, can have a little piece of aristocracy of your own. Perhaps a canary yellow, pink, or Hope-diamond- like blue would best reflect your personality in that engagement ring you have been dreaming about. Or, if you prefer a blend of the traditional with the fancy, try a clear diamond accented by the color of your choice.

Diamonds are made up entirely of carbon. Pressure (diamonds can’t form above 100 miles below the earths crust) and temperature (750+ degrees F) are the factors that “change” the diamond from mere carbon into a treasured commodity.
