How many diamonds are in a chunk?

Ultimately, finding Diamonds is luck in Minecraft. There is a method to the madness though; only one Diamond vein will spawn per chunk (a chunk is 16×16 blocks) below Y=16, and that vein can be anywhere from 1-10 Diamonds long. So if you decide to clear out an entire chunk, you are guaranteed to find Diamonds inside.

How do you display chunks?
