Maby this is the hardest material on earth for public use just like diamond and for industrial. But the real known hardest yet is -Lonsdaleite csystal, this miniral is very rare in our planet they only found this from a meteorite crash thats why this miniral not found in "our periodic table. -2nd is Boron nitride soon to be the shield of NASA for space travel.

Hmmm, that is ridiculous. Diamond is also not found on the periodic table, and lonsdaleite is also a crystal of carbon.

Boron nitride is not harder than diamond, and in its cubic form is already used in industry - you cam buy CBN tools just like you can buy Diamond tools.
