Yes, diamonds can cut glass. Glass can also cut glass.
Yes, diamonds can cut glass, because diamonds are harder than glass.
No. Diamonds cut glass because diamonds are harder than glass. Quartz is not as hard as diamond.
Diamonds can cut glass because they are one of the hardest naturally occurring substances on Earth. When a diamond is rubbed against glass, the hardness of the diamond allows it to scratch and ultimately cut through the glass.
FalseAnother AnswerTrue, in the sense that diamonds can mar glass. A glass-cutter uses a diamond-tipped tool to mark a cut line on glass, then applies pressure to either side of the cut line. This separates the glass where the cutter wants it cut.

No, emeralds are not hard enough to cut glass. Diamonds cut glass and they are the only gemstone with this capability.
Any diamond can 'cut glass' in the sense that dragging the diamond stone across glass will mar the glass.
A diamond will cut glass -- an emerald will not.
Diamond is harder than glass, so a diamond will 'mark' glass. Glass-cutting takes place when the worker uses a diamond-tipped tool to mark the glass along the cut line, then applies pressure to the glass on both sides of the mark. Glass-cutting tools are tipped with industrial diamonds, which are 80% of all diamonds mined.
Because the diamonds are harder than the glass and can cut a 'score' into the surface of the glass, so that with a light tap, the glass separates along the 'score'.
As the logic goes it is difficult to cut glass with glass. Diamond saws are used for cutting rough diamonds. The lasers are also used widely to cut diamonds. The cutting of rough diamond also followed by girdling.
Yes, lab-created diamonds have the same physical and chemical properties as natural diamonds and are capable of cutting glass. They are similarly hard and durable due to their structure and composition.
