NO!!!

It is a tesselated tetrahedron shape.

To explain.

Taking methane CH4 . The four hydrogens are at the points of a tetrahedron.

Substitute the four hydrogens , with four carbons. Each carbon still forms the points of a tetrahedron. However, each carbon forms its own tetrahedron.. So the diamond structute becomes a tesselation of tetrahedrons. This is known as the 'Adamantine' structure.

No, diamond is not a triangle shape. Diamond is a four-sided figure with two pairs of parallel sides that are not equal in length. It is more commonly described as a rhombus shape, which is a type of quadrilateral.
