No volcano produces diamonds.
Diamonds are erupted to the surface of the earth through volcanic pipes, which look like upside-down volcanoes. These pipes erupt indicator minerals, some of which include diamonds.

∙ 8y agoDiamonds are not found in volcanoes. Diamonds are erupted to the earth's surface through volcanic pipes.
Volcanoes are formed with cones well above the earth's surface. Volcanic pipes are shaped in the inverse, with the top of the pipe being its largest area -- at the surface -- and the cone focused deep within the earth's mantle where diamonds are formed.

∙ 13y agoDiamonds, which are formed deep within the earth's mantle, are forced to the earth's surface through volcanic pipes, which are a special kind of volcano.
According to Wikipedia, "Volcanic pipes are relatively rare."
You can read more about them, below.

∙ 8y agoDiamonds are erupted to the earth's surface through volcanic pipes. These are flat at the earth's surface, with a cone originating deep underground.
Volcanoes with cones of elevation that rise above the surface do not contain diamonds.
Wiki User
∙ 9y agoNo. Diamonds form deep underground under immense heat and pressure. They are then carried to the surface by volcanic activity.
Wiki User
∙ 10y agoNo. Diamonds are formed by pressure deep within the earth. However, many diamonds are brought to the surface by volcanic activity.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoDiamonds are formed from carbon deep within the earth's mantle. In order for the stones to be brought to the surface, a volcanic pipe must erupt.

Volcanoes simply transport the diamonds to the surface by way of volcanic pipes.

Are there any precious stones that come out of a volcanoes?
Some volcanoes, including Hawaii, occasionally produce sands which are composed of transparent green grains of the gemstone, peridot. On the Big Island, the sands mostly appear black except on a beach near the southernmost tip of the island.
Are shield volcanoes and volcanoes the same?
Not necessarily. Shield volcanoes are volcanoes, but not all volcanoes are shield volcanoes.
How do volcanoes affect the production of land masses?
It affects the land by creating new rocks and plants such as basalt and diamonds.
Can diamond form inside a volcano?
No. As the pressure at the relatively shallow depths where volcanoes occur is not high enough to form diamonds. However it is true that volcanic eruptions can cause diamonds to be erupted onto the surface but these diamonds were already formed at much greater depth.
Are there active volcanoes in Poland?
No. they are all extinct. The extinct volcanoes are: Ostrzyca, Grodczyn, and Wilcza Góra.
What diamonds are in volcanoes?
All natural diamonds are erupted to the earth's surface through volcanic pipes, which are volcanic in their action, but not classified as what we've come to know as 'volcanoes'.
What are the benefits to volcanoes?
The benefits of volcanoes are fertile land,obsidian,and diamonds and other jewels!
How do diamonds get to the surface?
Via rising molten magma or by mining.
What element are found in volcanoes in percent?
diamonds found inside the volcano
Why isn't there a distribution of minerals around the world?
There isn't an even distribution of mineral throughout the world because (for example), diamonds are found near volcanoes, so diamonds wouldn't be found in a place with no volcanoes. Hope this helps:)

Are diamonds made from volcanoes?
No. Diamonds are formed deep within the earth's mantel -- under enormous pressure and intense, high heat, then erupted to the surface by volcanic pipes.
Are shield volcanoes and volcanoes the same?
Not necessarily. Shield volcanoes are volcanoes, but not all volcanoes are shield volcanoes.

What are diamonds make of?
All diamonds are formed from carbon.
How are diamonds extracted from Kimberlite?
Diamonds ascend to the Earth's surface in rare molten rock, or magma that originates at great depths. Carrying diamonds and other samples from Earth's mantle, this magma rises and erupts in small but violent volcanoes. Just beneath such volcanoes is a carrot-shaped "pipe" filled with volcanic rock, mantle fragments, and some embedded diamonds. The rock is called kimberlite after the city of Kimberley, South Africa, where the pipes were first discovered in the 1870s. Another rock that provides diamonds is lamproite. The extraction process can take place at the mine site, where the excavated material is washed and tumbled. Because diamond is heaviest of all the materials mined, it falls to the bottom and is otherwise sorted from the mined materials.
