The Mengyin diamonds are produced from Early Paleozoic kimberlite and various ages of alluvial rocks, the former located in the area about 60–70 km west of Tancheng-Lujiao fault. The diamondiferous kimberlite deposit consists of Changmazhuang, Xiyu and Poli kimberlite belts from south west to north east. The overall striking of the Mengyin deposit is about NNE 55°, with a length of about 55 km and a width of 15 km in total. There are 10 pipes, 47 dikes and one sill in the three belts. The wall-rocks are briefly composed of Neoarchean Trondhjemite, Tonalite, Granodiorite (TTG) gneiss and Neoarchean Taishan Group strata, Paleoproterozoic intrusive rocks and minor Cambrian limestone.

Diamonds have also been found in alluvial deposits as well as conglomerates from the Cambrian to Quaternary.
