well i have thought about submitting a message into here for a while but every time i would there was an episode that did the myth so i just thought of one. My myth is that there was a gang war going on and there was a drive by. someone shot a person walking down the street from the front about 50 feet away and got shot. the bullet struck her chest and she fell to the ground. she ends up surviving because she was wearing a large diamond necklace about an 1.5 inches length wise and about 1.5 centimeters across. the bullet just bounced off. please get back to me because i would like to actually do something with this if it is confirmed. i know diamond is really hard but do you think that it could stop a bullet when it is that small. thanks for your time.

Diamonds are hard, but very brittle.

A bullet would shatter one.
