no it can't
Diamond is the hardest mineral and is the only one that can scratch corundum. but in my opinion corundum will scratch corundum any mineral of the same hardness will scratch the other !
According to the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, quartz (7) will not scratch any mineral with a higher number on the scale. Corundum is listed at 9. Therefore quartz will not scratch corundum, but corundum can scratch quartz.
Fluorite is unable to scratch feldspar, quartz, corundum, diamond, or any other mineral with a Mohs hardness greater than 4.
apatite will not scratch quartz topaz calcite or corundum
I would guarantee that diamond would scratch it, and types of corundum like rubies, sapphires and raw corundum probably would, because it is 9 on the moh's scale of hardness. Quartz, emerald, agate and topaz would also scratch it.

Corundum can scratch almost any mineral that isn't diamond.
Corundum and Diamond.
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~Talcand many, many more.Diamonds are one of the most hardest minerals.Hope I helped! (I'm learning this in science right now!)
Because diamond is the hardest natural mineral and can only be scratched by another diamond.
According to the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, quartz (7) will not scratch any mineral with a higher number on the scale. Corundum is listed at 9. Therefore quartz will not scratch corundum, but corundum can scratch quartz.
Fluorite is unable to scratch feldspar, quartz, corundum, diamond, or any other mineral with a Mohs hardness greater than 4.
apatite will not scratch quartz topaz calcite or corundum
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.
According to the Mohs scale of hardness, Diamond has a hardness of 10 and Quartz has a hardness of 7. Any mineral with a hardness greater than 7 can scratch quartz and diamond can scratch any mineral with a hardness less than 10. Corundum (hardness of 9) and Topaz (hardness of 8) are two examples of minerals that can scratch quartz but not diamond.
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.
Mineral X could be anything. Diamond is the hardest mineral (10 on Mohs' scale) and can scratch all other minerals including another diamond.
