the boulder shifting design is altered, and there's no annoying fireflies.  
  
diamond is the resulting formation of carbon atoms in a cubic structure. because of this, diamond has the highest mohs hardness of any mineral that is measured. it also has the highest thermal conductivity of any mineral. because of the rigidity of diamond, there are relatively no impurities; however, that is not to say that diamond in itself cannot be impure, as boron and nitrogen can impurify it, and thus give it colour:  
  
| boron taints it blue  
| nitrogen taints it yellow  
| radioactivity taints it green  
| flawed diamond is brown  
  
in very rare instances, diamond can be purple, pink, orange or red.  
  
because it is the hardest mineral it is not adamantine. diamond needles are known to wear down over time through the consistent playing of vinyl records, and other diamonds can scratch it.  
  
with a mohs hardness of 10, diamond is the mineral representation of such hardness.
