Basically of what synthetic diamonds are composed.

For example, a diamond is a 10 on the Mohs hardness scale, while a CZ is 9.5.

Diamonds can still be scratched, but by another diamond. CZ's are almost as hard, and would be difficult to scratch, if these screens were indeed CZ. However I thought I read they were high quality optical glass, which would shatter if dropped?
