This Meteorite Is Full Of DIAMONDS!

Some meteorites are full of diamonds!
These are diamonds that formed in our early solar system, but we could also form diamonds through impact! When a meteorite hits Earth it produces a shockwave that can almost instantaneously convert graphite and sometimes other carbon bearing minerals into diamonds!
The Canyon Diablo meteorite from Meteor Crater in Arizona is filled with black diamonds!
Laurence Garvie from the Buseck Center for Meteorite Studies at Arizona State University explains.
Originally filmed in 2017, updated in 2025.
