Turns out, some of the world’s biggest diamonds were launched to the surface in explosive ‘fountains’ when ancient supercontinents broke apart. We’re talking volcanic blasts so wild, they shot diamonds up at over 80 mph! Scientists now think these eruptions are tied to the breakup of landmasses like Pangaea, and that mapping old rift zones could help find the next mega-stone. Next time you see a diamond, remember: it survived a geological rocket launch! #Science #diamonds #geology
