Diamond Ore

Diamond ore is a block only found deep underground, about 5-16 layers above Bedrock. Diamond ore is the second rarest ore, the first being Lapis Lazuli. Diamond ore can only be mined with an iron pickaxe or higher. If it is mined with a stone or below pickaxe, the ore it will simply break without the diamond popping up. Diamonds can be used to make the strongest tools and armor in the game.

Trivia

 * Diamonds are more common in Minecraft PC.
