Diamond takes the top spot as the hardest known material on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness. Its unique lattice features a face-centered cubic structure housing four carbon atoms at its core. Carbon atoms bond with their neighboring atoms in a stable tetrahedral configuration, each maintaining an optimal distance of 1.54 Angstroms and forming a 109.5-degree angle. Other significant materials like silicon, germanium, and gallium arsenide, critical to modern technology, mirror diamond's crystal structure. A 14-atom, 16-bond model of this lattice makes for a compelling addition to any educational setup or decorative desktop space. Just be advised: removing the supporting base can be a painstaking process requiring time and patience!
