Coal when subject to mild metamorphism turns into Anthracite, in which the carbon content is between 92% and 98%. If squeezed and heated still further, the coal will transform into graphite and of cause if the taken to extremes diamond will be produced, but that would require the coal to be taken deep into the earth's mantle.

What metamorphic rock does anthracite coal turn in to?
Anthracite coal, a type of coal with a high carbon content and low impurities, can turn into metamorphic rock called graphite under high heat and pressure. Graphite is a soft, crystalline form of carbon that is a good conductor of electricity.
