Approximately how long does it take for a diamond to turn into Carbon?|||A diamond will be essentially never decompose as carbon 12, which is the stable isotope of carbon has a near infinite half life; the exact half life of which, is ultimately uncertain. It's interesting to note that the famous slogan that states "a diamond is forever" isn't exactly true. Like all isotopes, even the stable ones, carbon 12 will eventually decay. However, this process will take billions and billions of years too undergo. What is even more interesting is that a zircon will actually last slightly longer than a diamond, as zirconium 91, the stable isotope of zirconium, has an even greater half life than that of carbon 12.|||6 million, 4 hundred thousand years|||a very very very long time. like 32 billion years. but when you die they can turn you into a diamond if burned at a hot enough temperature because were made of carbon, like diamonds.|||Ummm I think you have it backwards coal to carbon to diamonds. I don't think a diamond ever decomposes|||its a rock, soo i dont think it does|||Diamonds are compressed carbon they last forever|||it only takes a few minutes, smash it into powder, and you'll never know again if it is diamond or what,|||A long, LONG time! XD|||A diamonds molecular structure is too tight to allow even the smallest bacteria in so, therefore, it cannot, technically decompose. Interestingly, however, if you were to vapourise a diamond in a furnace and collect the vapours, then cool them, you would get carbon graphite which is used (carbon-14) is used in carbon dating organic material|||Diamond is pure carbon (an allotrophe of carbon).
Your question is not clear.
thnks|||a diamond is made of carbon|||I think it takes at least 45 minutes.
