Diamonds are created about 100 miles underground, because that is the place where the conditions under which diamonds are formed is found \u0026ndash; that of high pressure and high temperature. Diamonds that are created beneath the Earth grow out as carbon traps in rocks.

The process involves large presses that weigh hundreds of tons to produce the required pressure of about 5 GPa at 1500 degree C. In the chemical vapor deposition method, carbon plasma is created over a substrate on which carbon atoms deposit gradually, to form the rough diamond.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHistory of Lab Grown Diamonds\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/h2\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eA few years ago it would have been unimaginable to create diamonds in a laboratory.
