"Revealing the Enigma: Unraveling Earth's Deepest Gemstone"

Scientists from Curtin University have discovered the missing ingredient in the formation of pink diamonds by studying the Argyle volcano in Western Australia. In addition to deep carbon and tectonic plate collisions, the stretching of continents during continental break-ups creates pathways for diamond-bearing magma to rise to the Earth's surface. The researchers found that the stretching of landmasses created gaps in the Earth's crust, allowing diamond-carrying magma to emerge. This discovery could aid in the search for new pink diamond deposits worldwide. The Argyle volcano, which has produced over 90% of the world's pink diamonds, is situated at the suture of two ancient continents, making it a unique source of these rare gems.
