Diamonds so small that they contain only about 2000 carbon atoms are abundant in meteorites, and some of them formed in stars before the Solar System existed. [1] High pressure experiments suggest large amounts of diamonds are formed from methane on the ice giant planets Uranus and Neptune , while some planets in other planetary systems may be ...
