AnswerThere are a couple of things that are harder than diamond. We have found that aggregrated diamond nanorods and ultrahard fullerite are harder. Links are provided.

Note: Diamond is the hardest naturally occurring substance. The things harder are all synthetic; they are man-made. And they are all made of carbon. Additionally, they are all made in only small quantities.
