Diamond is a form of carbon. Carbon melts at 8300 °F but only if held under pressure of around 1600 psi.
Diamond melts at 3,820 degrees Kelvin, which is the highest melting point of any mineral.

No, not if the diamond is on earth, and not closer to the sun.


Why can you melt a diamond?

You can melt a diamond, because anything can melt given enough heat. Diamond, however, has the highest melting point of any known mineral: 3820 degrees Kelvin, 6416.33 degrees Fahrenheit, or 3546.85 degrees Celsius.


Does heating a diamond slow down the rate of it melting?

Diamonds don't melt.


Is it possible to melt a diamond, and if so, how"?

Yes, it is possible to melt a diamond. Diamonds can be melted at extremely high temperatures of around 6,000 degrees Fahrenheit in a controlled environment with the use of specialized equipment such as a high-powered furnace.


Can any chemical melt diamond?

Diamonds are the hardest known natural material (from Carbon) and with a melting point of over 3500`c it would be pretty much impossible to melt one down. Only another diamond can scratch a diamond but it wont melt it.


Why diamond is very difficult to melts?

Diamond is difficult to melt because of its strong covalent bonds. These bonds are very strong, requiring a high amount of energy to break them and melt the diamond. Additionally, diamond has a very high melting point of about 3,500 degrees Celsius, further contributing to its difficulty in melting.


Can you melt a lot of diamonds and pour them into a mold of a ring?

The nature of the diamond is such that it is 'worked' or fabricated by cutting and polishing, not by melting and casting, since in order to melt a diamond you'd need to generate heat up to 3,820 degrees Kelvin, or 3,547º C.
