I read that superman episode too, but coal doesn't turn into diamond. They're crystallized deep in the mantle, and delivered to the surface via volcanoes. The article I found just says it takes "millions of years"

It can be done instantly, as long as you have enough pressure. But, naturally, millions of years.
