Why do you find diamonds in little pieces when they are the hardest material on earth?
Diamonds are formed deep within the earth's mantle under extreme high pressure and temperature. Most diamonds -- 80% -- are industrial diamonds, the tiny pieces you describe. Gem-quality diamonds are more rare -- the remaining 20% -- and large, gem-quality diamonds are most rare. Pea-size or smaller is the most common size for diamond stones.
As to why -- the answer is in the mysteries of geology and its formation technologies, which are generally unpredictable and always random.

Why diamonds are used to cut glassplates?
Diamond-tipped tools are used to cut glass, because diamond is the hardest mineral. Cutting glass plates requires a score line, long which pressure is applied to separate the pieces of glass into the desired dimensions.
Can diamonds be destroyed by a bullet?
If you purchased a lot of industrial diamonds -- costing about US$1.60 per pound -- and used it for target practice, you would end up with a lot of industrial diamonds in smaller pieces than the lot you started out with. If you purchased a gem-stone diamond large enough to use for target practice, you might not be able to 'destroy' it: you might be able to split it into multiple pieces, significantly reducing its value. Or not.
Can diamonds be recycled?
Yes, diamonds can be recycled by breaking them down into smaller pieces and using them in new jewelry pieces or industrial applications. The process involves cutting, grinding, or melting down the diamonds to create new products. Recycling diamonds helps reduce waste and environmental impact associated with new diamond mining.
Will a diamond break down?
Diamonds are actually the strongest material, but you can also break it by burning it. Try it and you will see that a hard diamond has turned into many shattered pieces. If you rub it other diamonds, it will only make a little scratch!
How do you crush diamond?
Diamonds are the hardest natural substance, so crushing them requires a significant amount of force. One common method is to crush diamonds with a hydraulic press that exerts high pressure. Another method is to use diamond powder or grit in a hammering process to break down larger diamonds into smaller pieces.
What are the ways where diamond can be broken to smaller pieces?
Best practices dictate that if you want any control whatsoever over the size and geometry of the smaller pieces, that you take your diamond to a diamond cutter and pay to have it 'broken' into smaller pieces. If you don't care about the smaller pieces, or the value of the diamond, you could hit the diamond with a hammer and see what happens.
How do you know the value or if a 1773 Boston tea party jar is real?
well you break it in half into little pieces and see if there are diamonds if they have diamonds its pretty real then sell the peices for 3 million bucks
Had Cinderalla's glass shoes 200 pieces of diamonds?
Yes they do
How many pieces of diamonds can you get in 1 carat?
Diamonds are not typically sold in 'pieces': diamonds are sold as individual gem-stones. One carat equals about .02 grammes, so you can include as many diamonds in that weight as you want to equal the one-carat weight you want. Note, however, that you may include fewer gem-quality diamonds in your total mix than rough, industrial diamonds, because the gem-quality diamonds you want are probably faceted.
How many puzzle pieces does the smallest puzzle have?
The smallest puzzle was 7.75 cm by 5.7cm and had 99 pieces and was considered the hardest puzzle ever with a piece density of 40,000 pieces per meter
