Metals cannot penetrate these "rocks" easily. Diamonds or emerald or jade could be good enough to go right through human flesh. Metals cannot penetrate these “rocks” easily.

You can take the exact same steel and make a katana in the traditional way vs. in a factory setting but you will most certainly get two very different blades. What is the application of the blade or shield? Some shields deflect blows while some stop arrows. Some blades are used for cooking while others are used for combat. A titanium shield might be a good choice. Light and resists impacts and cutting well. It gives enough to not be destroyed by other cutting impliments. A diamond sword would shatter and be quite useless as would emerald or jade for the same purpose. Gold would be hacked apart and bend in either application as it is a soft metal. And a copper blade making any incision would not be present long enough to leave any traces enough to cause poisoning as an FYI.
