What is a mineral's ability to scratch another mineral?
A mineral's resistance to being scratched (or when a force is applied) is called its hardness.There are different measurements of hardness: scratch hardness, indentation hardness, and rebound hardness. A material's hardness depends on ductility, elastic stiffness, plasticity, strain, strength, toughness, viscoelasticity, and viscosity.
