Explanation:

Kimberlite is a type of heavy and fragmented igneous rock that contains the highly valued diamond mineral. Remember that igneous rocks are formed with hot magma that comes from the interior of the Earth and as it ascends to the surface it cools and creates these types of rocks that contain minerals.

Although diamond is one of the minerals that compose it, it is not the most abundant. The most abundant mineral is olivine, and among other of its minerals is also phygopitta mica.

This rock formation can be found in areas with elevated centers of continental platforms.
