TL;DR Summary

Research suggests that diamonds could be propelled to the Earth's surface during major geological events, such as supercontinents breaking up, through kimberlite eruptions. These eruptions, occurring around 22-30 million years after plates begin to pull apart, result from the mixing and flowing of rock from the upper mantle and lower crust, leading to explosive rushes of rock, water, carbon dioxide, and diamonds towards the surface. The findings could aid in the search for untapped diamond deposits.
