In minecraft, no. But in real life, yes. Diamond is a 10 on the mineral hardness scale. Obsidian, a 5. Diamond is a ridiculously dense carbon based mineral that spends millions of years forming underground. Obsidian is black glass that formed from quickly cooled lava.

∙ 8y agoDiamond is 10 -- the highest rate -- on the Mohs Scale of hardness. Obsidian rates 5 to 5.5 on the same scale.
'Strong' is a different measurement, which is not typically applied to rocks.
Strength will vary from one piece of a substance to another, depending on the structural defects, so you can't really compare one substance to another.

How do people mine obsidian?
Make lots of buckets, take lava, and put it down and pour water, then mine with a diamond pickaxe. If you don't have the diamond pick, and you know what you want, put lava exactly there you want the obsidian, surround it by any material on all four sides, just for safety and pour water on it. you don't have to put all the lava in one go, and obsidian can block lava. I recommend not to mine obsidian where you found the lava in the first place, since water can't flow through obsidian and there can easily be lava below the obsidian to take the obsidian when you mine it.
Which element is 51 percent stronger than diamond?
any element will be stronger than diamond because an element is a single atom. deformation of an atom will take much more force than demolishing a diamond. Perhaps the right question would be: which compound is 51 % stronger than diamond? The answer to this question might be Lonsdaleite, practical proof still has to be obtained because all tested crystals were impure, only a simulation has been made so far of a pure sample (calculated at 58% harder).
Is diamond stronger or obsidian?

Is obsidian is harder than diamond?

Is a diamond stronger than steel?

Is obsidian a diamond?

Is iron stronger than diamond?

Is diamond stronger than gold?
both have the same consistancy but if you look at the cenebral cortex the diamond is stronger but if you look at the color gold is stronger Diamond is the hardest element on earth.
