Diamond Rain :

Yep, diamond rain.
Diamonds like water are rained in a few planets of our Solar System.
Scientists assume that diamonds are rained in Neptune and Uranus.
The atmosphere of Neptune and Uranus is of extremely high pressure and also it contains methane which is a hydro-carbon.
The atmosphere's of those planets have a temperature of about 12,000 Fahrenheit and a pressure of about 6 million times the pressure on Earth. Basically, that means all the temperature and pressure present on those planets turns Methane into diamonds.
Uranus and Neptune are said to have diamonds covering miles and miles of the surface.
