If you heated diamond in air it would turn to graphite - a more stable form of carbon - long before it melted. However, it can be melted if subject to 10 million times normal atmospheric pressure. When the pressure is reduced the diamonds will crystallised again. This has led scientists to speculate that there might be "seas" of molten diamonds on Neptune and Uranus because their atmospheres generate intense pressures and also are carbon-rich.
