Coal has never been at sufficient depth and temperature to be turned into diamond. Coal is simply fossilized plant remains that are high in the element carbon, of which the mineral diamond is also composed.

∙ 9y agoNo, you cannot make diamonds by burning coal. To turn coal into diamonds, you need tremendous heat and also tremendous pressure. Merely burning the coal is not nearly enough heat, and you would also still need to increase the pressure.
Another Answer
The molecules in coal are arranged differently from the molecule arrangement in diamond -- although both are allotropes of carbon, you cannot form a diamond from coal under any pressure or temperature.

∙ 9y agoBoth coal and diamond are allotropes of carbon, simply with different atomic patterns.

Is coal a black diamond?
No. coal is coal and diamond is diamond. They are both formed from carbon, but diamond is much harder than coal.
What phases does coal go through before it forms a diamond?
A diamond is not formed from coal. Diamond and coal are both allotropes of carbon, and are formed by different processes.
Why does a diamond turn into coal when it's burned?
Diamond does not turn into coal when exposed to flame.

Will a diamond turn back into coal?
No,The process in which turns coal into diamond cannot be reversed or "undone"
Why is coal referred to as black diamond?
Probably because both coal and diamond are composed of carbon.
