unshatterable

Immune to fracture

Unshatterable describes something that cannot be broken into pieces by sudden force or impact.

The word applies literally to materials engineered to resist breaking: unshatterable glass, unshatterable phone screens.

More often it's figurative, describing bonds, faith, or resolve that withstand any assault: Their friendship proved unshatterable despite years of distance.
