Purpose: The aim of this paper is to show abundance of diamonds existing in the Universe and diamonds diversity among the diversity of other extraterrestrial carbon phases. The main subject of research shown here are example meteorites consisting diamonds: ureilites DaG 868 and Dho 3013. Results are compared with previous investigations. Diamonds exist in many different meteorites, interplanetary dust particles (IDPs) and in comets dust. Origin of different diamonds is still debated among the scientists, two main possibilities are taken into consideration CVD process or shock metamorphism. Understanding laboratory techniques of manufacturing diamond helps in understanding the processes taking place in the Space. From the other side, the new findings and discoveries give the new insight to material science and laboratory techniques. Design/methodology/approach: The samples were examined with different methods, the most investigations presented here are Raman Mapping and Cathodoluminescence (CL). Findings: Diamonds have been found in different samples with different shock stages. It means that not all diamonds in urelites could have shock origin. Diamonds from examined samples show high diversity, they exist in different sizes, from nanodiamonds to micrometer sizes diamonds and in different polytypes. Shifts of Raman diamond peaks indicates this. Research limitations/implications: Results show the possibilities of creating the new diamond-based materials similar to those found in meteorites. Diamond polytypes are not well characterized yet and could give some surprises for materials science. For future research it would be interesting to apply more methods such as X-ray diffraction or HRTEM. Originality/value: SEM+BSE+EDS+CL results and Raman imaging results of DaG 868 and Dho 1303 ureilites are shown for the first time.
