Fluorite has a hardness of 4 out of 10 and can scratch gypsum, talc and anything less than 4.
it can scratch fluorite
fluorite ,tale ,gypsum
Mohs' Scale of mineral hardness using minerals is :-TalcGypsumCalciteFluorite (also known as Fluorspar)ApatiteOrthoclase FeldsparQuartsTopazCorundumDiamondThus minerals 5,6,7,8,9 and 10 will scratch Fluorite.
Any mineral with a hardness greater than that of fluorite which is 4 on the Mohs scale of hardness. Examples include quartz, orthoclase, garnet, diamond, etc.
quartz
Fluorite with a Mohs hardness of 4 would be scratched by quartz (with a hardness of 7). Both calcite (Mohs hardness 3) and talc (Mohs hardness 1) are softer than fluorite.
no because fluorite is softer than a penny
No it cant.
Olivine
Fluorite is unable to scratch feldspar, quartz, corundum, diamond, or any other mineral with a Mohs hardness greater than 4.
the answer is something harder than fluorite some examples are granite , magnetite , diamonds , and quartz .
Flourite is in a group of minerals known as halides.
