Feldspars generally have a hardness of 6 on Mohs' hardness scale.
2.5 through 2.8. Different types of feldspar have different densities. But the most common one is 2.5 through 2.8. Hope this helps. :)
Orthoclase Feldspar.
Feldspar can be found in many things, including soap
granite
Go to an area nearby a formerly active volcano and you will find feldspar, because it is an igneous rock. Or you can go to an area such as Yellowstone Park where there are open rock areas and you will be sure to find feldspar.
Granite is a rock containing both amphibole and potassium feldspar.
Yes "feldspar" is one of the minerals on Moh's scale of hardness.
Feldspars generally have a hardness of 6 on Mohs' hardness scale.
Orthoclase feldspar is 6 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness.
Orthoclase feldspar is 6 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness.
Orthoclase Feldspar.
hardness for orthoclase feldspar is 6.0
On the Mohs Scale of mineral hardness, feldspar is 6 and quartz is 7, so quartz is harder. What does this mean? quartz will scratch feldspar, but feldspar will not scratch quartz.
Feldspar is a 6 on the hardness level and diamond is the hardest t 10. Feldspar is not very heavy- about the weight of granite or quartz (the average rock)
According to Mohs' Hardness Scale, talc registers at a 1, whilst feldspar registers at a 6, so, no, talc cannot scratch feldspar.
There is no mineral that would satisfy the question. If a mineral is able to scratch feldspar, it would have a Mohs hardness of 6 or above. Fluorite is rated as a 4. It would be impossible for a mineral which scratches feldspar to be unable to scratch fluorite.
Basalt scores an 8 on the Moh's scale. This makes it harder than quartz and vanadium, but weaker than boron and titanium carbide. It can easily scratch steel and glass. It is just about as hard as topaz. Basalt is also an igneous rock, formed by hardened lava, which explains why it is so hard.
There are many minerals with hardness above 5.5 but the standard ones are feldspar,quartz, topaz, corundum and diamond.
