Diamonds are formed as an allotrope of the element carbon, at depths greater than 90 miles. The pressure and heat at this depth is critical to the formation of the diamonds thâ¦at are mined at the surface today. At crustal pressures, the stable form of carbon is the allotrope graphite.
How Gemstones are Formed. Minerals form under various conditions in the earth. Most gemstones form in the Earth's crust; the top layer of the Earth, with a depth of 3 to 25 miles. Only two gemstone varieties-diamond and peridot-form in the Earth's mantle, which represents 80% of the Earth's volume.ow Gemstones are Formed. Minerals form under various conditions in the earth.
