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.
It is scientifically a different mineral than Diamond, and believed to have formed when meteoric Graphite fell to earth. When this happened, great heat and stress transformed the Graphite into Diamond, but it retained Graphite's hexagonal crystal lattice.
