Diamonds are the hardest mineral/gem in the world but they are brittle. The next step down from diamonds are sapphires and rubies. They arent brittle and are quite hard. On a scale of 1 to 10, diamonds (#10) being the hardest, sapphires rank 9. For more on the scale I used. Google MOHs scale of hardness
