Not only does a person have to break many connections at once, but the bonds are also strong connections from the start. Diamond is the hardest known natural substance and is composed solely of the element carbon. (CC SA-BY 3.0; Mario Sarto). Silicon dioxide and boron nitride have some similarities, but neither of them comes close to the ultimate hardness of diamond.
