Diamonds are elemental crystals formed by crystallization of elemental carbon at extremely high temperatures and pressures. Diamonds are usually formed in the deep mantle layer of the Earth, at depths of about 150 to 200 km, at pressures around 5 GPA. The temperature and pressure of the earth's mantle are very high, and under these extremely high temperatures (above 1000 degrees Celsius), the structure of carbon atoms changes and crystallizes to form diamond crystals.
