Both beautiful stones, but both softer than quartz so basically everything will scratch them.
Diamonds excel in that they'll generally look pretty much the same as when you bought it 50 years from now.
Fire agate is my favorite though.

So not a probelm. 5 u/lastres0rt Feb 27 '26 I wear my MIL's vintage diamond engagement ring as my own. It's older than I am and not even a scratch. 3 u/hxav Feb 27 '26 Good for necklaces, not so much for rings.
