Is it true that natural diamonds form from compressed coal?
No. A reference source explicitly calls the idea that diamonds form from compressed coal a common misconception, noting coal comes from buried plants while most dated diamonds are far older than the first land plants. A separate experimental study indicates diamonds grow from carbon- and water-rich fluids rather than coal.
