<p>[QUOTE="Chandler In Las Vegas, post: 2730441, member: 10068"]Do not confuse hardness with brittleness. Jade is incredibly hard as it is not abraded/scratched by many other minerals. It is not brittle. However, diamonds are also brittle, they chip like hell. This is why FL diamonds turn into IF diamonds when worn for a month or so. Chips around a stone's girdle are indicative not definitive. </p><p>My GG 2¢[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
