It takes millions to billions of years for diamonds to naturally transform into graphite.
Under extreme heat and pressure over long periods of time, graphite can transform into diamond. Diamond is a metastable allotrope of carbon that is formed through this process.
Graphite is a form of carbon that makes a good lubricant due to its layered structure, which allows for easy sliding between layers. When used as a lubricant, graphite reduces friction between moving parts and provides long-lasting and effective lubrication.
Diamonds are special because of their exceptional hardness, brilliance, and rarity. They are one of the hardest naturally occurring materials, making them highly durable and resistant to scratching. Their brilliant sparkle and fire are renowned for their beauty, making them a popular choice for jewelry. Additionally, their scarcity and long history as a symbol of love and commitment contribute to their enduring appeal.
It takes extreme pressure and tens of thousands of years, but, yes, if the conditions are right, a diamond can result. Coal and diamonds (and graphite too!) are all made from purely carbon atoms! They are just different forms of the same element! Pretty amazing, eh?!
Yes, lab created diamonds have the same physical and chemical properties as natural diamonds, so they are just as durable and long-lasting. Both types of diamonds are suitable for everyday wear and can last for generations if properly cared for.

it takes 5 million years for diamonds to turn to graphite
Diamonds are Forever is 2 hours and 5 minutes long.
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.

Diamonds have been part of human history for about 6,000 years.

Superworms typically take about 2 to 3 months to transform into beetles.
