  • Moissanite: The World's Second Hardest Natural Substance | Properties & Comparison
    The second hardest natural substance in the world is Moissanite, a naturally occurring silicon carbide.

    Here's a breakdown of the top hardest substances:

    1. Diamond: The hardest known naturally occurring substance.

    2. Moissanite: Slightly softer than diamond, but still incredibly hard.

    3. Corundum (Sapphire and Ruby): Known for their beautiful colors, they are also very hard.

    It's important to note that the hardness of a substance is measured on the Mohs Hardness Scale, which is a relative scale based on scratch resistance.
