What does it take to make a diamond?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Jude Clausen Diamond Growth It takes around 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit and 825,000 pounds per square inch in pressure. Add in the carbon and the diamond seed that provides the foundation, to form a raw diamond. What is needed to make a diamond? You’ll need to squeeze the carbon under intense pressure: about 725,000
