I have no idea it is not my expertize but what I do know is that the earth core is a Ni/Fe solid core at 5400 C of about 2300 km in diameter surrounded by liquefied heavy elements including Actinides and there are within this fluid envelope a lot of nuclear reaction and as such there is a lot of heat propagating from the earth core to the surface.(from scientific articles) We know very little what happens in the depths of the earth core.

Above the fluid envelope is a lot of carbon that in certain cases due to pressure and heat form diamond crystals that are sometime ejected to the earth surface.

My speculation is that is possible it happens same with other heavy transitional metals including gold or platinum but also many more like Ni, Co, Cu etc., and Fe iron the most abundant I think.
