A lot of earth minerals were actually seeded here by asteroids. A meteorite impacted into a graphite lens in Siberia that created billions of micro-diamonds that a lab in Simferopol was rumored to be growing into 5 carat gems, that is until the lab mysteriously blew up. The Russians started with the idea that when the earth was in a more plastic state impacts seeded the upper mantle with micro-diamonds and they simply replicated that same pressure regime at surface to grow macro-stones. pbs.org
