Can a diamond be chipped?

A diamond can chip. When you strike a diamond at just the right angle, along a cleavage line, then a diamond could absolutely chip. If you store diamonds loose, with other diamonds in the same jewelry container, they can actually rub up against each other and that can cause chipping and breakage as well.
