Well, diamond is a mineral so it isn't any type of rock.

Diamond is the hardest mineral on earth and a 10 on the 1-10 MOHZ hardness scale. It is 40-50 times harder than the next hardest rock, corundum which is 9 on the scale. So no, diamond is quite the very opposite of soft, and as previously stated, it is a mineral, not a rock.
No, diamond is the hardest rock.
