Sans Marino Diamond

General Description
Sans Marino Diamond is a Light Blue, extremely hard crystal mineral, scoring a 30 on the Mohs Hardness Scale, making it ten times harder then diamond. This result was gathered from fracture and scratch testing. It grows in a branching structure, often stemming from a single node. We have no idea where it came from, yet it is found in high concentrations around Sans City, especially around Mount Sansia. We cannot mine there, as the Sans Marino Castle is on top of it.

Uses
As well as being used in jewelry, Sans Marino diamond can have several other purposes, some notable military applications too. Lab tests has discovered that it behaves strangely to electricity. Applying more than 9600 watts of current produces a fairly strong field, able to withstand forces up to 20 pounds. Strength only increases as power is applied, to the point of, well we haven't quite tested that. It will be explained in the next section. Anyways, Sans Marino Diamond can be applied to the exterior of ship hulls, shields, and robots. In fact the SNSC Sansfinity has a whole Sans Marino Diamond Shield array on the entire exterior of the hull, powered by the primary fusion reactor.

Dangers
Though Sans Marino Diamond is very useful, it cam be very dangerous as well. If a current of above 91 megawatts is applied to it, diamonds will not be able to handle the power, and the shield will over-expand, throwing anything out of its path, with the potential to throw a train off its tracks. The diamond will then shatter, sending millions of shards flying around 600 mph in every direction. As well as this, extremely large forces being applied to a SM Diamond Shield will yield the same result. Think of it like throwing a skyscraper at the shield, going 70 miles per hour.
