In this paper we present summation of ten-year investigation of the four heterogeneous diamond-forming geostructures of Mongolia. These geostructures were considered on the example of the Agit Khangay, Khuree Mandal, Bayan Khuree, Tsenkher astropipes, Teel aggradation terrace, Shavariyn Tsaram dome volcano and Khan-Khukhey metamorphic terrane.The our detailed geological and gas-geochemical investigations of the Mongolian astropipe geostructures noticeably show diamondgenesis is the expression of the collision of the lithospheric mantle with meteor impact collaps explosion process. First discovery of the Teel placer diamonds is indicated that transfered diamonds may have accumulated and concentrated in the aggradation above- the-flood plain terraces which are widely spread by the Selenge river basin.
