Turning part of a mountain into diamond through pure pressure. If not, what should I change to make it calculable? And if so, what's the tier?

Is this possible?

well what's the mountain made of? if it's made of carbon-based substances then it should theoretically be possible.

I have a method, not sure if is true, but is needed 1 700 000 atm of pressure to create artificial diamonds without temperature effects, that is 172 252.5 J/cc, so maybe multiplied that for the mountain volume could work?
EDIT: most likely that only works with volume of cabon, since common rock could be converted to diamond

that could work theoretically if we assume the mountain is mostly made of that could work theoretically if we assume the mountain is mostly made of carbon-based substancesAntoniofer said:

Sweet. Thanks, Antoniofer.

No problem, another method more accurate is to find the mass of the already made diamond and convert it to an equivalent of carbon volume, and then multiplied that volume per 172 252.5 J/cc. That assuming that the proceding is correct, would be needed discuss that.

@Antoniofer if that was done, would it also be needed to add the energy to pulverize the rest of the mountain, since they would likely have to get rid of the rest of the mountain as well?

mmm... I would need to make some experiments with that, pulverizing the entire mountain would be higher that turning the carbone from that mountain into diamond. If that mountain contain the same composition that the average Earth's crust, that's means that only 3.6% is the mass of carbone, so, using the constant from above, the volume that should be used is v = 1.593*10^(-5) * Mountain weight (kg), or 4.3*10^(-2) * Mountain volume (m^3)

I posted a blog about the questio, waiting for evaluating to make corrections or if it will be accepted.
