What can talc scratch?
Talc can scratch Talc , although Talc's hardness varies it is considered a soft mineral, that can even be scratched with a finger nail. Any mineral or material with a hardness equal to or greater than 1 on the Mohs hardness scale will be able to scratch talc. Talc is the softest mineral listed on the Mohs scale, listed as a 1 on the scale which is graded from 1 through 10, with 10 being the hardest (diamond).

Do Diamonds scratch glass?
I have heard of this happening when a diamond has a flaw in it. A jeweler will be able to let you know about diamond flaws. Yes - A diamond can chip or fracture irrespective of flaws. While diamonds are quite hard (scratch resistant), they all have 'fracture planes' as a result of how the carbon atoms are ordered, and thus their toughness (resistance to fracture or chipping) is good but not great. You can smash a diamond with a hammer for example. I know several diamond cutters who do the bulk of their work recutting chipped diamonds, so it happens far more often than people would think.

What are you referring when you address the hardness of a mineral?
A minerals hardness is basically its tendency to scratch or be scratched by another mineral or object. For example if a mineral is very soft (Like Talc or Gypsum) then you can scratch it with your finger but if you have a very hard mineral such as diamond you will not be able to scratch it with anything other than another diamond. The hardness values are quantified in Mohs hardness scale using the numbers 1-10 with 1 being the softest (Talc) and 10 being the hardest (Diamond). Ordinary objects with a known hardness can be used to determine a minerals relative hardness by simply seeing if the object will scratch the mineral or not. Pencil lead=1.5, Fingernail =2.2-2.5, Penny=3.2-3.5, Pocketknife=5.1, Glass plate=5.5, Steel file=6.5, Streak plate=7.0
