No, for two reasons.
First, the centre of the Earth is under two much pressure and too hot.
Second, diamonds are made of carbon, which doesn't exist in the centre of the earth. The centre of the earth is solid nickel and iron.

Its impossible. The center of the center of the earth has too much presure, the diamond would be crushed and compacted, if you could get water in teh center of the earth (assuming it didnt evaporate) it would turn into ice because theres so much pressure. Plus its far too hot, the diamond wold melt. But mabey somewhere down there, closer to the crust, there is a place where diamonds flurish.

Sorry but no diamonds at the center of the earth - as many of the other users have stated - at the earth's center we have a solid iron/nickel core immediately surrounded my a liquid iron/nickel layer - this in addition to the extremely high pressure found there would render it impossible for a diamond to exist

No. There are no diamonds at the center of the earth. It's called the inner core there and temperatures can reach 9,000 F.

no, diamonds are formed under the earth's crust, but are not at the center of the earth. they are brought to the surface with the magma from volcanoes & end up in kimberlite pipes. the elements can wash them from there into rivers or the ocean or the ground or they are mined directly from the pipes.

to what CENTRE are you referring, i think of the respond is not any, the 2012 celestial adventure this is coming, has human beings frightened, from an entire array of angles, from fantasy, to legend, to hypothesis, to hearsay, perfect by way of to scientists, it has plumed right into a mushroom of what many stuff human beings can think of up will actual ensue, and that i think of the reality is that no person is prevalent with whats going to ensue, yet i think of that the tip of the international concept is outlandish. there are some frightening proofs of issues that could ensue, and would desire to hold some effects for a fashion we live existence, yet extra beneficial than that, it is going to likely be super, and that i'd upload that what can and could ensue wont be to any extent further severe than the topics we've already brought about seeing that we took a concept to invent technologies and marketplace interior the final blink of the worlds existence, one hundred years.

No not possible , since at such high temperatures diamond gets converted2 it's allotrophe graphite..

no... the core consists of molten metals & magma(has a very high temp) so diamond would probably get converted to its allotrope
