Diamonds are very difficult to melt. If you heat them in air they burn long before they melt. It can be done under special conditions, but when they cool, recreating the conditions under which diamond forms is a whole other problem. You'd be likely to end up with graphite, the more stable natural allotrope, or amorphous carbon (soot).

Can diamonds be melted and transformed into a different form?

Yes, diamonds can be melted at extremely high temperatures and transformed into graphite, which is a different form of carbon.


Are diamonds made of glass?

No, diamonds are not made of glass. Diamonds are a naturally occurring mineral composed of carbon atoms arranged in a specific crystal structure, while glass is made from silica and other materials melted together and cooled to form a solid.


How are diamonds melted?

Diamonds are typically not melted in a traditional sense due to their extremely high melting point of around 3,500 degrees Celsius. Instead, diamonds are typically burned under high-pressure oxygen to convert them into carbon dioxide gas.

What would happen if you melted diamonds?

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.
