Short answer: No.
Longer answer: Diamond is made of carbon. Carbon that has been subject to extremely high pressure and heat for a long time becomes diamond. The longer the carbon is exposed to such conditions, the larger the diamond that will be formed. Over millions of years, carbon deposits slowly crystallize into diamond.
A natural place where the extreme conditions needed to form diamonds exist is deep inside the Earth. At some 90 miles or 150 kilometers under the continental crust, the pressure is known to be around 5 gigapascals and the temperature around 2,200 degrees Fahrenheit or 1,200 degrees Celsius.
Natural diamonds are brought to the surface of the Earth by way of volcanic pipes. Where diamonds have been formed, diamonds are included in these eruptions, as well as 'indicator minerals' such as kimberlite. Often diamonds are 'attached' to volcanic matter, from which the diamond stones are separated.

What is the difference between rocks and diamonds?
Diamonds are a type of rock called carbonado, which is a rare form of pure carbon that has undergone immense heat and pressure to form its unique crystal structure. Most rocks are composed of minerals or organic materials and do not have the hardness, transparency, or brilliance of diamonds.
What's the hardest rock?
The hardest rock is PANTERA, or Diamonds. Depending on your question.
What type of rock can be formed in a volcano?
ummm volcanic rock? but really its black rock and its all over near the hawaiian volcanoes! :)
What does it mean if your rock is red inside and is it worth money if it is?
There is not really enough information to answer this question. What type of rock is it? Igneous or metamorphic rock (if it is a sedimentary rock and is red inside it is probably some form of iron precipitate) Does it have a crystalline structure inside the rock or not
Can diamond form inside a volcano?
No. As the pressure at the relatively shallow depths where volcanoes occur is not high enough to form diamonds. However it is true that volcanic eruptions can cause diamonds to be erupted onto the surface but these diamonds were already formed at much greater depth.

Are diamonds the stronfgest rock?
Diamonds are the hardest rock.
Is the origin of diamonds rock or coal?
The origin of diamonds is rock, specifically kimberlite and lamproite volcanic rocks that form deep within the Earth's mantle. Coal is a completely different type of sedimentary rock formed from plant material.
When was Diamonds On the Inside - song - created?
Diamonds On the Inside - song - was created in 2003.
When was Diamonds On the Inside created?
Diamonds On the Inside was created on 2003-03-11.
What causes the pressure that allows diamonds to form in the mantle?
Gravity and the mass of rock above the diamond stability zone.
How much do diamonds go for on rock isle on horseisle?
Diamonds sell for $4,750 at the Rock Isle Rock Shop.
Diamonds are pure form from what element?
Diamonds are the crystaline form of Carbon.
What's the hardest rock?
The hardest rock is PANTERA, or Diamonds. Depending on your question.
What diamonds have inside of themselves?
Diamonds are formed from carbon.

What is the name of the rock that diamond are made from?
Diamonds are made from carbon, and are called rocks sometimes in their raw, natural form.
