So diamonds are an element now? Where do I find them on a periodic chart? Oh wait. Right here. The 6th one. But they misspelled it carbon. And it's only 99.85 carbon. LOL.
Diamonds and graphite are "allotropes" of carbon (different molecular forms). Just as atmospheric oxygen and ozone are allotropes of oxygen. Or red and white phosphorous are allotropes of phosphorous.
