Raw materials for coal and diamonds are the same. Buried dead plant material begins the process to coal. But the process for creating diamonds requires enormous pressures, so diamonds are formed at extreme depths (over 90 miles underground). Volcanos bring the diamonds to the surface or at least to depths where mining is practical. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond
