Once you find a diamond ore, you will need either an iron pickaxe or a diamond pickaxe to mine it. If you try to mine it with a wood, stone, or gold pick, the diamond will simply disappear. To make an iron pickaxe, you first need to smelt three iron ores in a furnace. Use the iron ingots to make a pick:

Middle row: blank, stick, blank
bottom row: blank, stick, blank

To mine diamonds in Minecraft, you have to use an diamond or iron pick. Click and hold with your mouse on the diamond ore until it breaks. A block of diamond should come out of it and into your inventory. Then you have to cook it in your furnace to get diamonds.
