Diamonds can pretty much scratch any rocks and minerals.
On something called, "Moh's Hardness Scale", the Diamond is the hardest one. So some examples of minerals it can scratch,
~Corundum
~Topaz
~Quartz
~Orthoclase
~Apatite
~Fluorite
~Calcite
~Gypsum
~Talc
and many, many more.
Diamonds are one of the most hardest minerals.
Hope I helped! (I'm learning this in science right now!)
Other minerals can be scratched by other minerals. But in the case of a diamond, only another diamond can scratch it as it is the hardest mineral.
Yes, diamond (Mohs scale hardness = 10) is significantly harder than feldspar (Mohs scale hardness = 6).
The mineral diamond can scratch diamonds.
as well as diamond, obsidian is known to have scratch the polydextric mineral
Corundum can scratch almost any mineral that isn't diamond.
Diamonds can only be scratched by other diamonds. Diamond is the hardest natural mineral.
A diamond has a hardness of 10 on a scale of 10 known as Mohs Hardness Scale. A diamond can scratch any other mineral. It isn't the only mineral that can scratch glass thou, quartz, corundum,garnet, among others
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.
the softer mineral can be scratched by a harder mineral. Ex: talc is 1 and quartz is 7 so quartz can scratch talc
Corundum can scratch almost any mineral that isn't diamond.
Diamonds can only be scratched by other diamonds. Diamond is the hardest natural mineral.
diamonds you idiot, even guys can answer that !
Diamonds are proven to scratch all minerals including itself.
No. A diamond can still be scratched by another diamond.
Since diamond is the hardest mineral, diamonds are used to enhance tools and precision instruments, simply because they can cut through **anything**.
the answer is something harder than fluorite some examples are granite , magnetite , diamonds , and quartz .
The hardness of a mineral is categorized on the Mohs hardness scale with talc as 1 and diamond as 10. A mineral can only be scratched bya mineral that is as hard or harder than the first mineral. So talc can scratch talc but nothing else. A diamond can scratch every other mienral including itself. Cordundum with a hardness of 9 can't scratch diamonds but can scratch a lot of other minderals.
Yes, then can. Diamond is ranked 10 on the Mohs Scale of hardness, the hardest natural mineral on earth.
A harder mineral will scratch a softer one.
Yes, scientist have turned "mundane" form of carbon into diamond by applying enormous amounts of heat and pressure. These conditions are similar to what forms diamonds naturally. The process is expensive though.
A diamond has a hardness of 10 on a scale of 10 known as Mohs Hardness Scale. A diamond can scratch any other mineral. It isn't the only mineral that can scratch glass thou, quartz, corundum,garnet, among others
