I realize that, I also realize that if the volcano didn't transport the 
diamonds from very deep in the earth to the surface much more rapidly than 
normal volcanoes the diamond would be turned into graphite.  I can see no 
way such a incredibly explosive event would result in a "small volcano". I 
still don't get it.
