Businessmen pursue profits, and diamonds are so expensive in the market. If these trillions of tons of diamonds can really be mined, it will be an unimaginable wealth. Why don't businessmen who don't see rabbits and scatter eagles fail?
This is caused by the following reasons.
The poor formation conditions of diamonds lead to extremely high mining risks. You should know that the main component of diamonds is carbon, but it needs to be treated at high temperature and high pressure to convert carbon into crystal clear diamonds. Therefore, in the strata with a large amount of diamond reserves, there are often hot magma. If these diamonds are mined regardless, magma will erupt. This will have incalculable consequences.
The investment in diamond mining is also large, and the income is uncertain. We all know that the value of diamonds is high, but it doesn't mean that we can make money every time we dig into a diamond mine. Although there are professionals and professional equipment to detect the diamond content in geographical areas, it can not accurately reflect the number of underground diamonds. Therefore, every decision to mine a diamond mine is a gamble. If you win the bet, you will make a lot of money. If you lose, you will lose everything, so few people have the courage to carry out large-scale mining.
Limited by technology. In fact, the underground height with a lot of diamonds is much deeper than we thought. As mentioned above, every mining will invest a lot of money, but even with abundant funds, diamonds may not be successfully collected. Diamonds exist too deep in the earth's crust, and the deeper they are mined, the more difficult it will be to collect them. Our existing equipment technology is not enough to break through this depth.
