I’ve always wanted to try the infamous diamond vs hammer experiment… so I did!
DISCLAIMER: This experiment was performed by a professionally trained jeweler. Real diamonds WERE harmed in the process. Attempt at your own risk.

I got the science wrong on this one. The Mohs hardness scale is not related to whether something will break when struck by another object. It measures hardness, which measures how easily an object can be scratched, not broken. Diamond is the hardest material on earth in that only a diamond can scratch another diamond. I apologize for the misinformation.
And about how difficult it is to break a diamond, hardness is the wrong property to reference. That would be its toughness, the ability to resist breaking from impacts. Diamond is still fairly tough but it can break from any impact with enough force that lines up with a cleavage plane. That force doesn’t have to come from another diamond.
I will make a future video more focused on the scratchability of a diamond and I’ll try not to get the science wrong.
Thanks for watching.
These were DIAMONDS, diamonds you just broke 😶😳🫨
Well you can say Diamond is unbreakable
"Where are the stones?"
"Gone, reduced to atoms."
"But you used them two days ago!"
"I used the stones to destroy the stones."
No bro you have a diamon hammer now you just need netherite
You can break a diamond with a hammer in my feet impossible but constant stress because it’s hitting the same point over and over again it will break
Isn’t netherite stronger than diamonds?
That was cool….costly but super cool
Man I wish I had diamond breaking money 😭
you know what else is a level 10 on the MOHs scale？
