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?!
If pressure is applied for long enough coal can become this
It takes millions of years for coal to naturally transform into a diamond under high pressure and temperature conditions deep within the Earth's crust. In a laboratory setting with the use of high pressure and temperature equipment, the process can be accelerated to produce a diamond in a matter of weeks to months.
Yes, diamonds and coal are both forms of carbon. Under immense pressure and temperature, it is theoretically possible for a diamond to be converted into coal over an extremely long period of time, although this process is highly unlikely to occur naturally.
Coal is formed from plant material that has been subjected to high pressure and heat over millions of years. This process, known as coalification, transforms the organic material into different types of coal, such as peat, lignite, bituminous coal, and anthracite, based on the level of heat and pressure it is exposed to.
Coal does not have a strict expiration date as long as it is stored properly in a dry and well-ventilated area. However, over time, coal can become less efficient in producing heat due to moisture content and external contaminants.

Although diamonds could become part of a formation of conglomerate, which is a sedimentary rock, diamond cannot become a rock because diamond is a mineral, whereas a rock has to be composed of two or more minerals.

It is possible that you could end up with a diamond. But the temperatures and pressures involved would be extraordinarily great and unreproduceable in a unspecialised environment. Also, the diamond created will be much smaller than the lump of coal use to produce it.

this is the order from peat to coal, peat-lignite-bituminous-anthracite- the higher up the the types, the higher BTU burn you well get, as well as a cleaner burn, but it takes more energy to get it started.
HA HA no! even as expressed in the Superman Movie it is a myth --Their carbon based structures are entirely different and the myth of just enough heat and pressure mixed together is no feasible otherwise human beings would be constantly churning out the mix in a laboratory somewhere in the world and would put a whole new spin on the coal industry itself.
Coal can last for quite a long time when used in large amounts.
