In terms of hardness, diamonds are very strong. It's because of their perfect cleavage that makes them easily susceptible to shattering from blunt force. So in terms of that, they are very brittle since they have many places to split apart at. Diamonds are not the only gems with perfect cleavage though so they aren't alone. Moonstone, Fluorite, Amazonite, and Topaz to name a few also have perfect cleavage and are also susceptible to shattering if struck with a sharp blow.

Whereas quartz type gems and rubies actually have a very low to no cleavage so they're more durable though less scratch resistant than diamonds but are still fairly hard (quartz is a 7 while diamond is a 10). Which makes sense since in the show they're solider type gems! Jades, Turquoises, and Opals also have no cleavage. And of course if the gem is not very hard, the scratches could get deep enough to cause breaks even if the natural cleavage is low.

So if you want to go by both hardness and toughness, I'd say Rubies are the best of both worlds - more durable to blunt force (no cleavage) and are not easily scratched (9 on the Moh's scale). Diamonds can't be scratched except by other diamonds but are weak to sudden impact while things like Jade are resistant to breakage but can get very scratched up easily.

So, I know this is currently off the topic, but I did want to talk about some theory I had.
For some reason, I feel like Peridot has some undiscovered power, that is yet to be revealed.
I've seen a few people who thought the same, but I would like to know what others may think about it too.
Or perhaps this less likely theory, that YD lied to her about being an "era 2 peridot" for some reason.
I think that one is pretty unlikely, but what do you think about the first one?
I don't know really, just a simple theory I came up with.

;;I actually have my own theory about why Peridot has powers (it's a branching theory, so stick with me ^.^)

;;I like to think that gems don't actually have to 'add' anything extra to create a gem with powers and that powers, a summoned weapon, fusion, and other gem capabilities are just things that all gems, no matter the era, are created with. It does bring up and interesting question, however, about why Peridot didn't know that she had powers, and I think there are two likely reasons;

1) The diamonds, and all gems for that matter (or most of them, at least), don't actually know that you don't need to add anything to the formula to get gems with powers. I don't think this one is very likely, which bring me to

2) The diamonds lied to era 2 gems about not having powers. I think this one makes much more sense as the diamonds would definitely have wanted to prevent any more rebellion uprisings, and what better way to stop such things as to tell the new gems that they're much much weaker then the older ones?

;;idk, it's just speculation right now, but I really do think it's true ^.^

i agree with the second theory more. i - personally - believe it's more possible for era two gems to have been lied to to prevent a second uprising

Exactly what I thought. I would love to see this theory become cannon.

(I'll do that gems and music thing later aaa)

Anyone seen the video titled "Peridot gets obsessed with Pokemon Go"? It's hilarious.

EDIT BECAUSE I JUST REALIZED SOMETHING

I know it's not canon but in the episode Say uncle, Uncle Grandpa knocks on Steven's Gem and it makes a knocking sound back.. Was it maybe Rose or just feedback?

Rose lives!!!

It's important to know that that episode is not cannon and not to be taken seriously...obviously. I believe Rose as a sentient being is dead and the last of her is in her gem and in Steven.

Looking at how the fanclub is, probably very! I'm pretty active on CS so I end up checking fanclubs and the like often.
