Best Answer

Diamond is the hardest material known to man but not the toughest. Toughness is a measurement of how resistant an object is to being broken or chipped. While better than most gems diamond is not as tough as materials such as steel or titanium. As to what is the toughest material known I would say graphene which is a single sheet of carbon atoms but it is only practical on the macroscopic level.
