Can all diamonds become graphite overtime?

Diamond is a form of carbon which has been subjected to heat and pressure. I don't think you can reverse the reaction. Much to the dismay of insurance companies diamonds reverts to carbon dioxide when subjected to extreme heat: a furnace will do it.


How do man make diamonds?

People can't efficiently make diamonds, it takes thousands of pounds of pressure and extreme heat.This process happens naturally underground. Carbon is compressed by the amount of mass on top of it and heated by the core. The pressure from the crust is what causes diamonds to be so dense/hard.Another AnswerThere are man-made diamonds, made from carbon under enormous pressure and extreme high heat.
