Diamonds are formed from carbon, as you state; glass is formed from silica. The two are not related, except that some glass and some diamonds appear similarly.

How are are diamonds manufactured?
Diamond is a natural form of carbon. After it has been mined, it is cut into jewels by jewllers.
Is it possible to make diamonds out of peanut butter and coal?
Absolutely. Any matter right in carbon can be converted to diamonds with sufficient heat, pressure and time. This implies, using the high-pressure high temperature method -- in excess of 1500C and pressure in excess of 45000bars or 2700F (about the temperature at which steel melts) or 30,000 tons per square inch -- is what's required. These conditions -- at a minimum -- sustained over several million years, is the trick Mother Nature uses to make diamonds.
What makes a diamond a diamond?
Mother Nature makes diamonds from carbon using intense high pressure and extreme heat deep within the earth's mantle.
Using the phase diagram for CO2, what phase is carbon dioxide in at 12 atm pressure and -40 C apex?
liquid
When a lemonade bottle is opened bubbles of carbon dioxide form. Explain using Le Chatelier's Principle?
because the bubbles of carbon dioxide have a smaller density so they rise and float on top of the lemonade

Are diamonds from carbon using heat and pressure naturally occurring?
yes, they form deep below the earth's surface and are erupted in volcanic tubes.
How are diamonds lab-grown?
Diamonds are grown primarily using high-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT) technology. These machines create conditions with over 50,000 atmospheres of pressure and 1,300 degrees Celsius that diamonds naturally grow under, inside the earth. In these conditions, carbon in a molten metal solution slowly crystalizes upon a diamond "seed" placed inside the growth unit, forming the new diamond. Over the course of a few days, the diamond grows to a few carats in weight and is removed and polished. Diamonds are also grown using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technology, where a plasma gas vapor in a vacuum "rains" down carbon atoms, depositing them onto a diamond seed. These diamonds grow in layers, as the carbon "rain" adds thickness to the seeds.

Can you explode a glass tank using steam?
You can explode anything using steam if the pressure is high enough.
How do you make diamonds?
Diamond can be made when carbon atoms are compressed at a very high temperature and pressure. This occurs naturally with carbon deposits (like prehistoric swamps) that are buried deep enough in the crust to be subjected to sufficient high temperatures and pressures. Most diamonds are dug out of the ground, having been produced by geological processes. It is possible to manufacture REAL carbon crystal diamonds, but it isn't something you will be doing in your backyard anytime soon. There are several ways this can be done. Just as natural diamonds, synthetic diamonds are created using high pressure and high temperature (HPHT). This can be done with a shaped high explosive charge or more commonly through multimillion dollar, purpose built machines: the belt press, the cubic press, or the split-sphere press (sometimes called a BARS apparatus). The machines generally yield much higher purity diamonds than the explosive method (this has been demonstrated on the Discovery Channel show Mythbusters). REAL diamonds can also be made using Chemical Vapor Deposition, where the diamond is grown gradually by feeding varying amounts of hydrocarbon gases into a chamber and energizing them. The gases are ionized into chemically active radicals in the growth chamber using microwaves, hot filament, arc discharge, welding torch, laser, electron beam, or other means. The diamond is grown one carbon atom at a time as the carbon radicals attach themselves to the substrate of existing carbon crystals. On the microscale, diamonds may be formed using ultrasonic cavitation and at room temperature, but these are too small to be viewed with the naked eye.
How can you make a real diamond out of peanut butter?
Any matter right in carbon can be converted to diamonds with sufficient heat and pressure. This implies using the high-pressure high temperature method. Temperature in excess of 1,500C and pressure in excess of 45,000bars. To put that in American terms, that would be temperature in excess of 2,700F (about the temperature at which steel melts) and pressure in excess of 30,000 tons per square inch.
What type of carbon is a diamond?
Diamond is carbon, but the atoms are linked in a rigid, three- dimensional lattice, with 4 covalent bonds at each atom. Since there are no free electrons, diamond is a non- conducter. Graphite is only a two dimensional lattice, with a free electron called the pi- electron, which allows it to conduct electricity. The fact that the atoms are joined in sheets which freely slide over each other makes it a good lubricant.simply diamond is crytalline form of carbon.
Can you do anything about the cons of using diamonds?
You can refuse to use diamonds.
How do you get the jewel out of the diamond mine on nabooti island?
Using the magnifying glass (bottom right), you should see the Nabooti symbol on one of the diamonds. It is at the bottom left of the group of diamonds. Select "take" and you will get the white jewel. (see related question)
What happens to carbon to form a diamond?
The natural process that formed most diamonds requires that a "collection" of carbon is gradually placed under great pressure and substantial (but not too high) a heat, in the absence of oxygen, for many thousands of years. The site of their formation is within the upper mantle of the Earth, under the continental crust, and the resulting diamonds have ages between 1 and 3.3 billion years. There are also diamonds formed almost instantaneously by asteroid or meteor impacts, or manmade diamonds formed using very high compression. These "nanorod aggregate diamonds" are harder than normal diamonds, the manmade ones even more so. There are black diamonds called "carbonado" diamonds that may have formed within supernovas, or may have formed when the already concentrated carbon material impacted on Earth.
