Do diamonds reflect like glass?
Diamonds have a higher refractive index than glass, which means they reflect and refract light differently. As a result, diamonds tend to sparkle more than glass and have a higher level of brilliance and fire due to their superior light performance.
Are diamonds really stronger than glass?
Yes, diamonds are much harder than glass. Diamonds score a 10 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, while glass typically scores around 5.5. This means diamonds are more resistant to scratching and are considered one of the hardest known substances.
Is diamond more dense than glass?
Diamonds are denser and harder than glass, as diamonds can score glass - as in a diamond glass-cutter.
Why is a diamond more brilliant than a glass imitation cut the same way?
From Suite101, "Ordinary commercial glass is made from sand which is silica or silicon dioxide." Silica and silicon dioxide are more common than diamonds, and the structure of the atoms in glass is less stable and more absorbent than diamonds. (This mineral is also used in foodstuffs.) Diamonds are made from carbon. The carbon atoms bond to form diamonds more tightly than atoms of any other mineral. This makes diamonds the hardest mineral known. Light refracting from cut glass reflects and refracts at lesser intensities than diamond, because of the density and compactness of the carbon atoms as compared to the 'looser' silicon dioxide atoms.
What material is transparent and fragile?
Glass is a common material that is transparent and fragile. It allows light to pass through while being brittle and easily broken when subjected to force.
Is crystal more fragile than glass?
yes
Is glass fragile?
well yea it is fragile. except when its FIBER glass
Can diamonds cut glass?
Yes, diamonds can cut glass, because diamonds are harder than glass.
Diamonds cant actually cut glass?
Yes, diamonds can cut glass. Glass can also cut glass.
Will quartz cut glass like diamonds?
No. Diamonds cut glass because diamonds are harder than glass. Quartz is not as hard as diamond.
Do diamonds reflect like glass?

What are the release dates for The Fragile Trilogy Glass - 2013?
The Fragile Trilogy Glass - 2013 was released on: USA: 2013
Is glass a terminology for diamonds?
When describing diamonds, glass is probably not as common as ice.
Are diamonds really stronger than glass?
Yes, diamonds are much harder than glass. Diamonds score a 10 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, while glass typically scores around 5.5. This means diamonds are more resistant to scratching and are considered one of the hardest known substances.
What do you do with broken glass?
In a box that says fragile theirs glass in there.
What Are the Differences Between Diamonds and White Sapphire?
Diamond are glass while sp are white and more pure than diamonds in color
What reflects light better glass or diamond?
It is the refraction of light from cut, polished and faceted diamonds, not their reflection of light that makes them more beautifully glittery than cut, polished and faceted glass. The carbon molecules are much more tightly packed in diamonds than are the silicone molecules in glass, giving diamonds this astonishing refractive quality
