Why is it that I can't seem to find any pictures of molten Carbon? Is it particularly difficult to melt Carbon?

The triple point of carbon is at about 100 atmospheres and 4500 kelvin, so it has to be contained at pretty pressure and temperature to become liquid. Setups that can transiently melt carbon (like quickly blasting it with a laser) exist, but don't really take good pictures.

The device used to hold things at really high pressure is a diamond anvil cell, but that won't work because it's made of the thing you're trying to melt!
