Actually diamonds are very common in real life. The fact that it hasnt been mined in large scale in human history relies on two facts:

One, because its extraction is severely monitored and monopolized in order to keep the final products demands high.

Second, today you need a lot of investment to be able to industrialize it, since you need diamond to cut diamond, or a very expensive high tech device.
