Is There Anything On Earth Harder Than A Diamond?
This link says yes. Ultrahard Fullerite.
The Hardest Substances (Google Search)
Diamonds are first. The second hardest substance is a compound make from
aluminum, magnesium, and boron.
What Do We Mean By Hardness? (Defined differently Under Brinell, Rockwell
and Moh's Scale)
Diamond is the hardest substance on earth-- measuring 10 out of a possible 10 on
The
Mohs Hardness Scale. In fact, diamond is four times harder than its nearest
competitor, which is corundum (sapphire and ruby are both corundums). However,
hardness (ability to resist scratching) should not be confused with toughness
(durability or ability to resist chipping or breaking). Many gems, such as jade,
are actually tougher than diamond. Because diamond has a very pronounced simple
cleavage (plains of molecules that can be split apart with relative ease), you
can damage a diamond with a careless sharp blow at just the right (or wrong)
angle. But a diamond cannot be scratched or cut except with another diamond.
Hardness Between Minerals (Moh's Scale)
Has good pictures too. Mohs' hardness is a measure of the relative hardness and
resistance to scratching between minerals.
Hardness Comparison Chart Compares plastics and metals on left with hardness of minerals on right. See also diffusion alloy hardness compared to diamonds Hardest Metals The hardest elemental metal is chromium; the softest, cesium. Tungsten is very hard too.
