Greetings all,
I seriously doubt that the diamonds formed from pressure and heat entering
the Earth's Atmosphere. The interior of meteorites usually stay cold all the
way to the ground, except for rare acceptions.
Diamonds from impact would be another story.

experienced the intense heat and pressure of entering the Earth's
atmosphere and crashing into the ground. The graphite layers would
have been heated and shocked enough to create bonds between them, in
much the same way as humans manufacture
diamonds.
