Sharon asks…

Is AGATE is second strongest material ever found?

In Physical balance i found a triangle shaped material on which the balancing rods rests.. My Physics teacher told it is one of the strongest material after Diamond! I just want to clarify about that!

admin answers:

Ok, agate is layered chalcedony, with a Moh's hardness of 8. Corundum (ruby, topaz, emerald, etc....) is the hardest mineral after diamond with a Moh's hardness of 9.

Easy to confuse, not the same thing. Agate is Not the hardest mineral after diamond.


Strongest? There are lots of minerals with a tensile strength greater than diamond. Plenty of minerals which are less brittle. So, that's a possibility.

Sandra asks…

you might have a hard time because they would be either in a restricted scientific study area or half way down a cliff
