Milgauss green crystal? Easy to damage?
Any concerns or past experiences of damaging the green Milgauss crystal? Is it easier to damage than the normal crystals?

It's sapphire crystal, just tinted green somehow. Should be just as scratch resistant as the regular sapphire.

Any sapphire crystal that is raised above the bezel, like on the Milgauss, will be susceptible to chipping around the edge.

Keep away from diamonds and corundum laced engineering bricks (those dark grey sparkly types!).

Exactly that and like all sapphire crystals they can chip and crack if you hit them hard enough, but more scratch resistant than say mineral or acrylic crystals.
