Diamond is a form of carbon. Carbon melts at 8300 °F but only if held under pressure of around 1600 psi.
Diamond melts at 3,820 degrees Kelvin, which is the highest melting point of any mineral.

Why can you melt a diamond?
You can melt a diamond, because anything can melt given enough heat. Diamond, however, has the highest melting point of any known mineral: 3820 degrees Kelvin, 6416.33 degrees Fahrenheit, or 3546.85 degrees Celsius.
Can you melt a diamond and mix it with calcite?
Yes you can but it would take a very hot temperature for the diamond to melt. Not any normal hot temperature. Diamond has the highest melting point (3820 degrees Kelvin, or 6416.33 degrees F.)
What temperature will a diamond melt?
Diamond mineral has the highest melting point of any mineral: 3820 degrees Kelvin, which is 6416.33 degrees F, or 3546.85 degrees C.
What temperature destroys diamonds?
You can melt a diamond at 3,820 degrees Kelvin or 6416.6 Fahrenheit, or 3,547 Celsius.
What happens when melted diamond cools?
Diamonds don't melt. In air they burn. Without air they decompose forming graphite.
Will magma melt diamond?
a diamond's melting point is so highmagma will not melt it
Can the sun melt a diamond?
No, not if the diamond is on earth, and not closer to the sun.

Can the sun melt a diamond on the sun?
i do not this so :)
Can any chemical melt diamond?
Diamonds are the hardest known natural material (from Carbon) and with a melting point of over 3500`c it would be pretty much impossible to melt one down. Only another diamond can scratch a diamond but it wont melt it.
Can magma met a diamond?
The melting point of diamond is sufficiently high that magma would not melt it.
Can nuclear melt down Diamond?
YES about 5000+° more hotter than the maximum of diamond!
Can you melt a diamond and mix it with calcite?
Yes you can but it would take a very hot temperature for the diamond to melt. Not any normal hot temperature. Diamond has the highest melting point (3820 degrees Kelvin, or 6416.33 degrees F.)
Does heating a diamond slow down the rate of it melting?
Diamonds don't melt.
Would the centre of the earth melt a diamond?
Yes, it would, after all a diamond is just compressed carbon heated up to form a crystal.
How hot does a diamond have to be before it melts?
diamonds do not melt. when heated to 1800 degrees. diamond, seeing as it is a subsidiary of carbon, turns into gas (CO2)
What temperature does diamond melt at?
Diamonds do not melt, but they can burn. Diamonds are formed at extremely high pressure and temperatures, but will burn in the presence of oxygen, like an oxygen torch at 1472 degrees Fahrenheit.
