The Mohs scale definition of hardness is that a harder material has the ability to scratch a softer material. So (according to the Mohs definition) one material can scratch another one because it is harder.
Diamond
Anon Legion Sunglasses have lenses made from scratch resistant material.
Quartz, with a hardness of 7, will scratch calcite, with a hardness of 3.
That depends what you scratch it with, what material the rock is made from, and how much force you apply when scratching.
Hardness
A diamond is the only material that cannot be scratched by any other than itself.
Geologists use the Mohs scale of mineral hardness to characterize the scratch resistance of various minerals through the ability of a harder material to scratch a softer material. In this scale diamond is the hardest material and talc the softest.
Nope. Can glass scratch glass? Can plastic scratch plastic? A material has to be harder than another in order to scratch it. Like materials obviously have the same hardness.
False. A mineral can only scratch itself or minerals equal in hardness or softer than it.

It would leave a scratch because a diamond is harder than glass; diamond being the hardest material on the Moh's Scale of hardness.
