Answer 9

Yes.... Diamond is one of the hardest substances on the earth, which silicon oxide doesn't even compare... Silicon oxide is quite useless for glass cutting....diamond isn't...
Diamond has a much higher refractive index than silicon oxide...
Silicon oxide is a compound, whereas diamond is essentially an element...
