DIAMOND

Diamond is the hardest natural material known, where hardness is defined as resistance to scratching.[10] Diamond has a hardness of 10 (hardest) on Mohs scale of mineral hardness.[11] Diamond's hardness has been known since antiquity, and is the source of its name.
Diamonds are thought to have been first recognized and mined in India, where significant alluvial deposits of the stone could then be found many centuries ago along the rivers Penner, Krishna and Godavari. Diamonds have been known in India for at least 3000 years but most likely 6000 years
