Quite flammable actually. This is the reason it is used for barbequing and for metal working and other processes that require high, even heat.

Why is a diamond more valuable than graphite?

Both graphite and diamonds are both made up of carbon and their chemistry is one of the most important similarities that they have. Due to the fact that these minerals are highly solid and have a high melting point makes it very difficult to burn. Even though both of these minerals are chemically the same in composition, they are different in physical form and in other aspects. Even a non- expert can tell the difference between graphite and diamonds; graphite is more metallic and opaque and diamonds are transparent and brilliant.
