| 13 hours ago | comment | added | rob♦ | The Wikipedia link currently contains the sentence "owing to a very large kinetic energy barrier, diamonds are metastable [and] will not decay into graphite under normal conditions," with the citation "Webster, R.; Read, P. G. (2000). Gems: Their sources, descriptions and identification." | |

| 14 hours ago | comment | added | my2cts | "diamonds are thermodynamically unstable compared to graphite" This would be the answer, if true. Any refs? Like this one? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Material_properties_of_diamond | |
