Whole thing
Added DiffLines:
'''Basic Trope''': A fake object is broken.
* '''Straight''': A "[[MockGuffin diamond]]" is shattered and breaks into thousands of glass shards.
* '''Exaggerated''': Bob slightly touches the diamond [[LotusEaterMachine causing a glitch within the simulation]] that makes the universe [[ApocalypseHow/ClassZ delete itself]].
* '''Downplayed''': A red diamond turns out to be a painted white diamond after someone rubs the dye off.
* '''Justified''':
** The glass was thrown in a rage after the buyer was [[TheCon scammed]].
** The glass was a shard buried deep underground near a lost city. It was mistaken for a diamond by miners and one pickaxe swing shattered the whole thing.
** The diamond was used to make tools, but broke instantly.
* '''Inverted''': A diamond is lost under the debris of a museum after a [[NaturalDisasterCascade hurricane and flood]] destroy it. A cleaner [[WorthlessYellowRocks throws away the diamond]], mistaking it for a chunk of glass.
* '''Subverted''':
** The diamond was real, Bob ends up on the headlines as [[DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength the world's strongest man]].
** Bob suspects that the diamond is fake and throws it. It stays intact.
* '''Double Subverted''':
** The shards were tested again and were actually another gem.
** The diamond shatters after being touched.
* '''Parodied''': The diamond is poorly drawn and got slightly touched. Bob [[DisproportionateRetribution gets the death penalty for the slight tear]].
* '''Zig-Zagged''': The diamond gets slowly replaced by glass over the years in an attempt to restore damages to the diamond. The glass ends up breaking far more than the diamond parts.
* '''Averted''':
** The chunks is [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin obviously labeled]] as glass.
** The diamond is real.
** No one touches the fake diamond.
* '''Enforced''': The diamond's reveal needed to be obvious, [[DramaticShattering breaking it with low force]] will make it very clear since diamond does not break that easily.
* '''Lampshaded''': "Why won't the other conmen start making their fake diamonds out of stronger glass?"
* '''Invoked''': Carl creates a fake diamond and breaks it to make himself look [[FeetOfClay stronger than he really is]].
* '''Exploited''': Bob breaks a glass diamond and records it to [[EngineeredPublicConfession expose]] the scammer.
* '''Defied''': Bob refuses to touch fake items, paranoid of it being a [[ChestMonster mimic]].
* '''Discussed''': "Shoot the diamond, it is glass that will shatter like a frag grenade".
* '''Conversed''': "I'm betting $500 that the diamond is glass and shatters".
* '''Implied''': During a police shootout in a museum, the diamond breaks along with the glass case and the diamond shards are suspiciously indistinguishable from the glass.
* '''Deconstructed''': The seller of the fake diamond gets arrested for fraud.
* '''Reconstructed''': After an attempt to [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney bribe the judge]] the conman gets sent to a prison that has iron bars that snapped [[CardboardPrison suspiciously]] [[KarmaHoudini easily]].
* '''Played for Laughs''': The diamond was from a toy store and was bought for billions of dollars. WorldWarIII starts as every contry fights for it. It gets opened and has a small action figure in it. [[SillyReasonForWar World War 4 breaks out]] as everyone kills each other to [[McGuffin find it]].
* '''Played for Drama''': The diamond that a family tried to sell to live ended up shattering as their family heirloom turned out to be fake.
* '''Played for Horror''': The diamond was actually an evil [[ChestMonster mimic]] that goes on a killing spree in the mines. Someone eventually kills it.
