A diamond is the only material that cannot be scratched by any other than itself.
False. A mineral can only scratch itself or minerals equal in hardness or softer than it.
false. if a mineral is harder than another mineral, it would be able to scratch the softer one
Corundum can scratch almost any mineral that isn't diamond.
You can scratch any mineral against a mineral with a higher place. Talc maybe?

Diamond is the hardest mineral and is the only one that can scratch corundum. but in my opinion corundum will scratch corundum any mineral of the same hardness will scratch the other !
According to the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, quartz (7) will not scratch any mineral with a higher number on the scale. Corundum is listed at 9. Therefore quartz will not scratch corundum, but corundum can scratch quartz.
Fluorite is unable to scratch feldspar, quartz, corundum, diamond, or any other mineral with a Mohs hardness greater than 4.
