Diamond forms a diamond lattice, a variation on the fcc (face centered cubic) in which the fcc lattice is enclosed within another fcc due to every carbon atom forming covalent bonds to obtain the lowest metastable rest energy. Silicon and Germanium also form in the solid state in a diamond lattice.
Another Answer
Diamond's crystal system is isometric; 4/m bar 3 2/m, with habits that include isometric forms such as cubes and octahedrons, while twinning is also seen.
