No, practically, and yes if you have a few million years to wait. To do this, ultra high heat and great pressure would be required deep within the earth's mantle, or an equivalent laboratory situation.
First the coal matrix formation of the carbon atoms would break down, then the carbon would reform itself into the diamond matrix. Not all carbon in this situation would form diamonds. Some would form another allotrope of carbon, such as the graphite in your pencil, or return to coal.

Why does a diamond turn into coal when it's burned?
Diamond does not turn into coal when exposed to flame.
How does coal turn in to diamond?
put peanut butter or some other pure substance on it and heat it up because the heat mixes the particles causing the purity of the substance to purify the coal
How long does it take to turn coal into a diamond?
A long time
Does anything turn into diamond?
When subjected to intense heat and pressure, coal can turn into diamonds.
Is coal a black diamond?
No. coal is coal and diamond is diamond. They are both formed from carbon, but diamond is much harder than coal.
Why does a diamond turn into coal when it's burned?
Diamond does not turn into coal when exposed to flame.
Will a diamond turn back into coal?
No,The process in which turns coal into diamond cannot be reversed or "undone"

Is it true that if you squeeze sand really hard it will turn into a diamond?
no, you need to put graphite under extreme heat and pressure to make diamond. Another Answer: You are thinking of coal. When subjected to extreme pressure and intense heat, coal will eventually form diamond. Sand, when melted can turn into a glass.
What is the link between coal and diamond?
Coal has never been at sufficient depth and temperature to be turned into diamond. Coal is simply fossilized plant remains that are high in the element carbon, of which the mineral diamond is also composed.
Is diamond and coal minerals?
Yes. Both diamond and coal are formed from carbon.
Can coal turn into diamond?
no it can't sorry too bad!! Coal is thought to be the carbon source in many cases for the diamond forming process however, many diamonds predate coal which is formed from early plant life.
What phases does coal go through before it forms a diamond?
A diamond is not formed from coal. Diamond and coal are both allotropes of carbon, and are formed by different processes.
