Diamond.
Diamond is the only mineral on this list. Granite is an intrusive igneous rock, meaning that it formed beneath the surface of the earth. Marble is a metamorphic rock, which means that it formed from another type of rock, or "parent rock," through subjection to intense heat and/or pressure. Limestone is a sedimentary rock composed of calcium carbonate and can often be the parent rock for marble.
Please note that the Mohs hardness scale does not apply to rocks. It only covers minerals.
