A bi-disciplinary scientific study has revealed the likely presence of a layer of diamonds 11 miles thick at the boundary layer of Mercury’s core and mantle.
It was a remarkable finding, and came from what is the least understood planet in the solar system, despite being one of the closest to Earth.
Diamonds are forever—a girl’s best friend—but more importantly for science, they are pure carbon. Carbon is an awfully common chemical to find in the solar system, and many sources can become diamonds under the correct pressures and temperatures.

It wouldn't be possible to mine these diamonds for the same reason it isn't possible to mine Earth's mantle, hundreds of miles below our feet.
