Corundum Duple Table; Gemstone Hardness and Wearability - International Gem Society. A diamond is much harder than corundum, even though they're only one division apart on the scale. The Mohs scale starts approximately linear, but the curve climbs sharply at the high end. Corundum (9) is twice as hard as topaz (8), and diamond (10) is four ...

The best-fitting C ij s at high pressure are shown in Table 1 and Fig. 2.We used the third-order finite strain equation to derive the pressure dependence of these C ij s (Text S1 in supporting information) (Birch, 1978).The results of our analysis reveal a near-linear increase in all five single-crystal elastic moduli of corundum under pressure, …
