The color is the greatest difference in the metals
The color is the greatest difference in the metals. The elements which include over one hundred known minerals are a diverse class when taken as a whole. The non metals are extremely diverse. Due to the diversity of the non metals subclass there is most of this diversity. The non-metals include some elements known as semi-metals who share some properties with metals but differ in other characteristics. The hardest mineral known to man is from this subclass, as well as one of the softest.

Most gemstones have good hardness and a high index of refraction.All gemstones have some characteristics falling short of perfection though; even the seemingly perfect Diamond has four directions of cleavage.
