Diamonds are produced by natural forces from charcoal which underwent high pressure and high temperature (volcano) and can be found underground in mines where people can dig them out. However, today the technology is such that charcoal could be treated at high temperatures and high pressure and the synthetic diamond look alike, called CZ, is very similar and sometimes only a trained eye or a professional jeweler may be able to distinguish a natural from a CZ. The CZ has no "dirt inside and can be purer carbon than a natural diamond. There is a big difference in price too. See more about diamond formation at:
