Super Deep Diamonds brought to you by Jarard's Diamonds
The majority of diamonds mined as gemstones were formed in the base of ancient thick regions of continents, at a depth of about 150–200 km. This is already an incredible depth compared to virtually all the other rocks and minerals around us at the earth’s surface. Even more extreme, however, are superdeep or sublithospheric diamonds, which originate from a depth of approximately 300–800 km
Through his study of these diamonds at the GIA, research scientist Dr. Evan Smith and his colleagues have determined that most Type IIa diamonds—as well as just about every famous blue—are formed in what he calls the “super-deep,” the lower mantle of the Earth, more than 660 kilometers down. (Other diamonds form a mere 150 to 250 kilometers down.) “These huge flawless D color nitrogen-free diamonds don’t form the same way as other diamonds,” Smith says. “They come from four times deeper in the Earth than other diamonds. They don’t form anywhere else.” They even form differently.
When Evan Smith talks about the deep Earth, he makes it clear he is talking about the deep Earth—way underground, beneath the tectonic plates, below where any human has traveled, as “far under our feet as the International Space Station is above our head,” “Diamonds are this pristine sample of the deep Earth,” he says.

Warren and Jennifer came by our store looking for a custom piece to be designed inspired by Revelations 21:19-21. It is their hope that many will read the Scriptures and order a cuff for themselves. They are all natural stones mined in the general area they were originally found. Custom design by Jerry Rich of Richmond Jewelry Design.
