How a Diamond is Formed. In order for diamond to form there must be an available source of carbon and relatively narrow ranges of temperates and pressures must align. This happens around 100 miles below the crust. Once crystalized the diamonds must be rapidly transported to the surface without undergoing substantial change.
Eventually, around 6,000 kilometers in, the pressure compresses them into bits of diamond that drift slowly through Saturnâs dense layers. The diamond maintains its structure until about 36,000 kilometers in. Once it reaches this point, the temperature is hotter than the sunâs surface, and the diamond breaks down.
