Geologically speaking,
natural diamonds are found
in two environments. Most are
found
in kimberlites, which are pipe-like formations created as a result of volcanic and tectonic activity. The second geological source for
diamonds
is placer deposits.

Normally: mining.
But note that in South Africa, when diamonds were first discovered, they were discovered ***lying on the beach***. There were millions of dollars worth of diamonds just lying on the beach and buried under just a few inches of sand.
This beach is still HEAVILY guarded
(of course, practically all of the valuable diamonds have long ago been taken, but doubtless there are still some smaller ones there)
and a very productive diamond mine is located nearby.
