Yes. Diamonds are formed from carbon.

From Wikipedia:

"In chemistry, a salt is an ionic compound that results from the neutralization reaction of an acid and a base. Salts are composed of related numbers of cations (positively charged ions) and anions (negative ions) so that the product is electrically neutral (without a net charge).

Examples of cations include Calcium Ca2+ and Iron Fe2+.

Examples of anons include Fluoride F− (hydrofluoric acid) and Phosphate PO43− (phosphoric acid).
