What will a diamond scratch?
A diamond will scratch anything and everything, including another diamond.
Is diamond harder than steel?
Yes, diamond is harder than steel. Diamond is the hardest natural material known, while steel is a strong metal but not as hard as diamond.
Why glass cannot cut diamonds?
Diamond is harder than glass, meaning that it has a higher Mohs hardness scale rating. Consequently, when a glass is used to cut diamond, the glass will simply break or shatter due to the extreme hardness of the diamond. Diamond is the hardest natural material on Earth, while glass is relatively softer compared to diamond.
How many pounds can shatter a diamond?
Because diamond is the hardest mineral known, this test would necessarily be performed in a lab. A diamond could fracture along a flaw or inclusion, however, when hit with a hammer, because diamond is brittle. If you simply placed weight on top of a diamond, it may never 'shatter'.
How do you detect the original diamond?
Original is not a term normally used in a context with diamonds.If you mean real or natural, then take your diamond to a jeweler who can use a probe to determine if the diamond is a real diamond. The jeweler may not be able to tell whether the diamond is a natural diamond or a man-made diamond: for that determination, please take your diamond to a certified gemologist.
What is the diaphaneity of magnetite?
The diaphaneity of magnetite is opaque.
What is the diaphaneity of pyrite?
The diaphaneity of pyrite is opaque.
What are the three degrees of crystal diaphaneity?
The three degrees of crystal diaphaneity are transparent (light passes through easily), translucent (light passes through but objects can't be seen clearly), and opaque (light does not pass through).
What is the diaphaneity of sandstone?
The diaphaneity of sandstone generally ranges from translucent to opaque, depending on its mineral composition and grain size. Sandstones with finer grains and fewer impurities may exhibit some degree of translucence, while coarser or more densely packed varieties tend to be opaque. The presence of cementing materials and other minerals can also influence its overall clarity.
What are seven physical properties of a mineral?

Is a simulant diamond a real diamond?
No, a simulant diamond is not a real diamond. It is a material that mimics the appearance of a diamond but is not made of the same physical and chemical properties as a natural diamond.
Can you see through diamond?
Diamond is transparent to non-transparent, depending on the diamond.
What stone can only be cut by diamond?

What diamond do you pick at the diamond mines?
