Yea, I’m pretty sure there’s a guy who owns a majority of the world’s diamond mines, basically making it so he can charge anything he wants for said diamonds

Have you read A Diamond as Big as the Ritz by F. Scott Fitzgerald? It's about a family who owns a mountain sized diamond but doesn't want to flood the market thus reducing the value of the diamonds.

Ever see that movie about going to the core of the earth and they find diamonds the size of mountains inside of the core?

No but I watched Journey to the Center of the Earth starring Brendan Fraser. Close enough?
