9 hours ago comment added my2cts I should be more direct. Your premise is false. See the section 'Thermal Stability'. It's only a few lines of text.
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."
