Answer:
Diamond can indeed be set on fire since it is made of carbon. You can even burn diamond in a regular flame if you are patient and conditions are right. To accelerate the burning of diamond, you can give it more heat and more oxygen.
What will happen if you burn a diamond?
Diamonds Burn Like Anything Carbon
As pure crystalline carbon (C), diamonds have the exact same chemistry as graphite (though they have different molecular structures). If strongly heated in the presence of oxygen (air), carbon will react with the oxygen (burn) to form carbon dioxide gas (CO2).
