Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -From Coal To Diamond: The Long And Winding Carbon-14 Journey The process of turning carbon into a diamond involves a great deal of pressure and extreme temperatures. Carbon-14 is a type of transformation that has taken between 1 billion and 3 billion years to occur.

Detailed explanation-2: -It takes around 2, 500 degrees Fahrenheit and 825, 000 pounds per square inch in pressure. Add in the carbon and the diamond seed that provides the foundation, to form a raw diamond.

Detailed explanation-3: -In addition to the carbon, intense heat and pressure come together under the surface of the earth’s mantle to create natural diamonds. While coal is also made of carbon, it contains lots of other impurities that make it impossible from diamonds to form out of coal.
