Diamonds from outer space

Did you know not all diamonds were created here on earth? There is a type of diamond called carbonado that is created in space, and is deposited here by asteroids hitting the earth. Carbonado diamonds are found in South America and Africa. There are things called presolar grains in meteorites that have little diamonds in them. These diamonds are thought to be created in super novas. Scientists have found that there are crystallized carbon nuclei in the core of white dwarfs. The largest found one was named Lucy after the Beatles song, "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds"
