* In \\\'\\\'Series/{{Smallville}},\\\'\\\' Clark squeezes a lump of coal into a cut diamond and uses his heat vision to set it in a ring for Lana. Of course, that whole episode ended up [[YankTheDogsChain not happening]].

* \\\'\\\'Film/SupermanIII\\\'\\\': Toward the end of the film, stopping off at a coal mine, Superman picks up a lump and crushes it into a perfectly faceted diamond for Lana Lang.

* In the \\\'\\\'WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueAction\\\'\\\' episode \\\"Follow That Space Cab!\\\", ComicBook/{{Hawkman}} gives Superman a piece of coal to crush into a large diamond to give to Space Cabby as compensation for his cab being trashed.

* Franchise/{{Superman}} in the [[UsefulNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks Silver Age]] and [[UsefulNotes/TheBronzeAgeOfComicBooks Bronze Age]] was known for squeezing lumps of coal into diamonds. Aside from being bad science for other reasons, the diamond produced was always a cut diamond with facets.
