There is an old tradition that a lump of coal in a stocking hung up on Christmas Eve, is a sign of good luck for the coming year. It ends up in your stocking because Father Christmas put it there, of course!

Diamond.
It is possible that you could end up with a diamond. But the temperatures and pressures involved would be extraordinarily great and unreproduceable in a unspecialised environment. Also, the diamond created will be much smaller than the lump of coal use to produce it.
Coal is usually piled up in a coal bin at the bottom of a coal chute.
