Polypropylene is resistant to all mineral acids and most organic acids.
Quartz, by a long shot. Then orthoclase, muscovite, biotite, in that order
Quartz is a mineral that is the most resistant to chemical weathering. Its resistance is due to the structure of the grains that comprise it.
Not very, over geologic time. Limestone is vulnerable to chemical attack from naturally acidic rainfall and runoff.
Any type of Stainless Steel will be resistant to rusting.
All minerals can be scratched if you used the right scratcher. Diamond can only be scratched by another diamond, and is most resistant to being scratched. In the jewelry world any thing harder than a 7 on the Mohs hardness scale is consider resistant to scratching.
