How is the hardness of a diamond related to the way it was formed?
Diamonds are formed into crystals with a perfect octahedral crystal habit. Hardness is associated "...with the crystal growth form, which is single-stage..." "The Mohs scale of mineral hardness characterizes the scratch resistance of various minerals through the ability of a harder material to scratch a softer material." All quotes according to Wikipedia research.
