As you can see here:

Hayabusa shows an octahedral shape, sure sign of it's crystallized carbon contents. Furthermore you'll notice the surface is unblemished with any craters. Obviously considering the hardness of diamond meteors are unable to damage the exterior.

OK you saw the newest internet false news created right here.
