Yes, a stone can crack along a flaw in its crystalline structure. ("In the crystal structure of diamond, each carbon atom is linked to four other, equidistant, carbon atoms" from Answers.com - Diamonds.)
If a stone has been cut and polished, and the substantive flaw hidden by some enhancement or other, it's possible that the diamond could crack and split. Usually stones with flaws of this severity are not desirable. A certified gemologist can evaluate a diamond before you purchase it to identify any such flaws.
