Anything can 'break' a diamond should it strike the diamond in its weak spot -- a flaw, because a diamond has perfect cleavage in four directions.
usually a lot of pressure but it depends on the bone. Example: It takes 12-16 pounds of pressure to break a knee.
A diamond is the hardest mineral on earth and your finger nail would break in half before you got enough pressure on a diamond to put a crack in it. Much less break it.
