it nt yet proved its just an assumption based on d high carbon content of their atmosphere
so it might and might not be true
Re: 25 Facts That Are Hard To Believe But Are So True by groundnutoil(m): 9:17pm On Apr 04, 2015
team of planetary scientists recently claimed that the mix of methane ,
carbon and lightning in Saturn's atmosphere is causing diamonds to be
forged in the planet's atmosphere. These diamonds would be around a
centimetre in diameter, but could range in size based on the availability of
carbon at the time of the diamond's formation. The new study estimates that
there are more than 1,000 tons of diamonds being created every year on
Saturn . Mona Delitsky of California Speciality Engineering in Flintridge , and
Kevin Baines of the University of Wisconsin-Madison , claimed that it is
possible. Saturn's atmosphere is mostly made up of hydrogen & methane ,
but when storms crop up, the lightning fries the methane , producing pure
hydrogen and burnt carbon, a.k.a. soot. As the clouds of soot fall towards
the planet, they clump together forming graphite, and as the pressure builds
up closer to the planet's core, that graphite is compressed into pure
diamond, thus literally raining diamonds on Saturn. The scientists think the
same thing might be happening on Jupiter too
