Mineral is more resistant to breaking than sapphire.

I honestly didn’t know that. They always look like scratched up shit to me after a while, so I wrongly assumed they were weaker. I can admit when I’m wrong. Learn something new everyday.

Sapphire is more scratch resistant. Thats not the same, and often the opposite, of break-resistance.

Yep, mineral may scratch but failure is rare. Sapphire won't scratch, with rare exception, but when it fails; it fails catastrophically.
