What makes the others better candidates, Diamond is the most cherished, prized crytal humans ever weilded. It is also the toughest one out there, slowing light itself. It impodies purity but as well as impurity. Its surface is translusent with an almost icey glare, despite its firey beginnings. While some would see beauty in it, it is nothing more than black material comprest into a dense state. Also the way we shape the crytsal, the triangular symbol of pride. Pride leads evil, pride is what set Diamond to conquering the rest of the universe and this is why the Crystal Gems, the emodiment of good and love have done what they could to protect Earth, a planet they deemed worthy of protection.
