But like I said, the diamonds of the game don't really look like diamonds all that much, and will not shatter so easily either. Wouldn't adamantium be a better name?
Adamantine has, throughout ancient history, referred to anything that was made of a very hard material. Virgil describes Tartarus as having a screeching gate protected by columns of solid adamantine (Aeneid book VI). Later, by the Middle Ages, the term came to refer to diamond, as it was the hardest material then known, and remains the hardest non-synthetic material known.
...
Since the word diamond is now used for the hardest gemstone, the increasingly archaic term "adamant" has a mostly poetic or figurative use. In that capacity, the name is frequently used in popular media and fiction to refer to a very hard substance.
Since diamond would actually shatter in the uses of this game and sure as hell isn't blue most of the time, why not we start officially calling it adamant/Adamantium/Adamantine (Various names.) .

Also I'm told it's at the bottom 25% of the map.
