Diamond is in the Native Elements Group of minerals. In order to test the streak it is required to have a substance harder than the substance requiring the streak, and no naturally occurring substance is harder than diamond. Even if there was a harder mineral, the amount of force needed to powder a diamond is so huge that it would take specialized machinery at do it.

Mineral of the isometric system, a crystalline form of carbon, dimorphous with graphite (same chemical composition, ie carbon- an element). Diamond is the hardest mineral known and has perfect cleavage.

actually it takes very little force to break a diamond into dust...lay one on an anvil and hit it with a hammer.. let me know how that turns out.

It is classed as an Element. Due to its great hardness it does not leave a streak.

I believe diamond is simply a crystal compound of pure carbon.

A diamond is compressed carbon, a semiconductor.
