Yes and no. The carbon configuration in a diamond is not thermodynamically stable, but it is kinetically stable... That is to say physics wants it to fall apart to graphite since graphite is lower in energy... but the speed at which that would happen would be so slow that we would never see it in our existence as humans.

It depends how you look after them!
