Natural diamonds are produced very deep in the Earth, under great pressure and heat, and some are brought to the surface of the Earth. The carbon source is graphite rather than coal. They also take a long time to grow.

Synthetic diamonds are grown in the 'lab' and thin films of diamond produced this way are used in the semiconductor industry as heat sinks under chips. For diamond has the highest thermal conductivity.

For more information, see wikipedia.org under diamond, or carbon, or gemstones.

Diamonds and coal both made of what?

Diamonds and coal are both made of carbon. The arrangement of the carbon atoms in each material gives them their distinct properties: diamonds have a crystalline structure, while coal has an amorphous structure.


Can coal and diamond be broken down into simpler substances?

Diamonds are Carbon; that's it. Coal is mostly Carbon with other elements in it.


Are coal and diamond both mined?

YesAdditional AnswerIt is also possible to 'grow' diamonds in a lab, but coal cannot be 'grown'.


Do the diamond comes from coal mining process?

No, diamonds do not come from coal mining. Diamonds are formed deep within the Earth's mantle under extreme pressure and temperature conditions. They are then brought closer to the surface through volcanic eruptions. Coal is a sedimentary rock formed from plant material over millions of years and does not contain diamonds.


Are diamonds made from coal?

No, diamonds are not made from coal. While both coal and diamonds are made of carbon, the conditions required to create diamonds are much more intense and happen deep within the Earth's mantle. Coal forms through the decomposition of plant matter over millions of years.


Are coals and diamonds both minerals?

Coal and diamond are both allotropes of carbon, which is a mineral.
