Yes. The diamond is a macro molecule made up of carbon and it is the hardest of all other minerals.
Diamonds are proven to scratch all minerals including itself.
Diamond is the hardest natural substance which is at all common, and was given the highest number on the Mohs scale, 10. Some synthetic nanomaterials and a couple of very rare minerals are harder.
Diamond is the hardest mineral on the Mohs scale, scoring a perfect 10.

Hardest Mineral=Diamond Second would be corundum.etc. etc....but these are minerals. Rocks are a combination of at least 2 minerals. A hard "rock" would be nearly any mafic, igneous rock.
Diamond is the hardest naturally occurring mineral and can scratch all other minerals. Talc is the softest of minerals and cannot scratch any other mineral.
A diamond is the hardest mineral. A diamond can scratch all other minerals or rocks and cannot be scratched by another mineral or rock except another diamond.
Diamond is a the hardest mineral, so yes. Minerals are what make up rocks.
Yes, then can. Diamond is ranked 10 on the Mohs Scale of hardness, the hardest natural mineral on earth.
