So if someone ever dares you to hit your diamond ring with a hammer, give them a stern “no”, wag a finger at them in discontentment and hit them with your newfound knowledge of diamonds. Granted, these angles are very precise and the farther off the angle, the more difficult it is to shatter. In reality, they probably dropped it or smashed it against something at the wrong angle. But, shatter can be quite powerful based on the different terpenes and cannabinoids in it. Diamonds provide an instant high, but live resin can help keep it balanced. With 99+ THC content, diamonds are far more potent than shatter’s 60-90 THC levels. That’s why you hear these weird stories about diamond jewelry breaking and people trying to claim the jewelry to be fake. Shatter contains other terpenes and cannabinoids. If you were to take a hammer or another blunt object and hit the diamond directly along the cleavage pattern, it would actually shatter without too much effort (but still some). So how do these patterns lead to diamonds breaking? Those are referred to as cleavage patterns. It’s much easier to see in normal gemstones such as quartz where there will be lines inside the gemstone. Without getting too technical, it’s the angle at which it crystallizes.Įvery diamond has 4 cleavage directions, which you can sometimes see if you examine the diamond closely enough. Why is that? Well, diamonds have something called cleavage patterns. However, if you took a hammer and hit a diamond at the right angle, it would easily shatter. Compared to other gemstones, they’re more difficult to chip than something like Opal, which is an extremely fragile gemstone. However, that just means that they’re difficult (but possible) to scratch and chip on the surface. Hardness refers to how close together the molecules on the outside of the diamond are, as well as how stable they are. That’s where most of the confusion lies in the hardness of a diamond. They reference it being one of the hardest materials on earth and assume you can’t smash it into bits.
