What is the hardest natural substance on Earth? - The Diamond.

So they say “80% of the world's diamonds are not suitable for "Jewelry”.

Is a Diamond Indestructible? - No. The fact that Diamonds are a hard substance refers to their ability to withstand scratching. But that is different than toughness, which refers to the ability to withstand breaking, which is right where I WANT TO BE!

What is the hardest natural substance on Earth? - The Diamond.

Rough diamonds are sorted into thousands of categories according to size, shape, quality, and color. No two diamonds are the same; no two mining sources are the same. Why does “society” want to “cut” and change something like this...to make them all the same?

To be unique, to be different, isn't this what "society" should be striving for other than the "material reasons"?

The ultimate life – “Diamond In The Rough”...which otherwise to me - Don't change for anyone or anything, what you are is "what you are".....that's LIFE make it what you will.
