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!)
