How can you tell the difference between calcite crystals and salt crystals?
Calcite crystals will effervesce in vinegar, quartz will not. Quartz will scratch calcite. The opposite is not true. Quartz and calcite have different crystal structures and different specific gravities. The list goes on, but if you are trying to distinguish them, the above should help.
What is a ranking of minerals from sofest to hardest?
Well the mohs hardness scale, goes upwarda by 1 everytime and diamond (10) being the hardest is Talc Gypsum Calcite Flurite Appatite Fieldspat Quartz Topaz Corundum Diamond

Which material would scratch the other quartz or calcite?
Quartz, with a hardness of 7, will scratch calcite, with a hardness of 3.
Which a halite crystal differs from a quartz crystal?
1) The covalent bonds in quartz are much stronger than the ionic bonds in halite. 2) The stronger bonds of quartz make it harder than halite. 3) You can easily scratch halite with a steel knife ,while you cannot scratch quartz.
