Hi there
You have marked your thread with an A tag which assumes you have post graduate education

so what have your done for research into your question so far ?
 
Yeah sorry for the bad choice of words.
I meant how to return it back into its original hard diamond form before it was crushed into a powder form

you are not going to do that because you have broken all the crystal latices
 
to expand on that ... creating diamonds requires very high pressures and temperatures

google myth busters diamond making episode

also google kimberlite pipes ( volcanic)Dave
