Take that lump of coal you got in your stocking and sit on it for a few million years...

And you'll still have just a lump of coal. 
Another myth worth busting... 

Diamonds are essentially pure carbon formed into a crystalline structure. 
The rarer, colored diamonds do contain minor impurities (boron, for example, makes diamonds blue, while nitrogen turns them yellow), but those impurities exist on a scale of just one atom in a million.
Coal is also mostly carbon, but it is hardly pure. Coal also includes many other substances, including hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, arsenic, selenium and mercury. Depending on the type of coal and its source, it will also contain various levels of organic materials - coal originates from decaying plants, fungi and even bacteria - as well as moisture. These impurities alone prevent coal from being turned into diamonds...
