Why is the element carbon a perfect example of an amophous solid

and I took 2 years of solid state physics and a materials science course.You may not like the answer - but to the best of my knowledge it is correct. look up diamond - it is not an amorphous solid - its crystalline.In mineralogy, diamond (from the ancient Greek αδάμας – adámas unbreakable) is an allotrope of carbon, where the carbon atoms are arranged in a variation of the face-centered cubic crystal structure called a diamond lattice.......
well it is not a perfect example.

C can be amorphous but crystalline in the allotropes diamond or graphite.

not a perfect example; not even a decent example

edit: thanks for the TD
I do have a BS in Chem w/ honors in chem from U C Berkeley

In mineralogy, diamond (from the ancient Greek αδάμας – adámas "unbreakable") is an allotrope of carbon, where the carbon atoms are arranged in a variation of the face-centered cubic crystal structure called a diamond lattice.
