An interesting video started circling on the internet several weeks ago, showing how coal can be turned into crystals.

The video, which recently went viral, shows a chunk of hot coal being dipped into a jar of peanut butter and then being left to freeze for 24 hours. According to the clip, after the frozen peanut butter-covered coal is put into warm water and washed, it becomes a clear crystal. But is this all true or is it just good editing skills?

YouTube channel The King of Random decided to find that out by conducting the experiment themselves. If you want to find out whether it’s really possible to make diamonds out of hot coal using peanut butter, check out their video below.
