Diamonds and coal are both pure carbon (mostly carbon-12). So is graphite, and buckminsterfullerene, and a number of other things. Crystal structure matters a lot.

They're not pure carbon was my point. I wasn't saying crystal structure not important, I missed that but it'd be in my 'product derived from element x' table.
