what is hardness of feldspar?
Feldspars generally have a hardness of 6 on Mohs' hardness scale.
Can apatite scratch topaz?
No, apatite cannot scratch topaz. On the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, apatite has a hardness of 5, while topaz has a hardness of 8. This means that topaz is significantly harder than apatite and can easily scratch it.
Will the mineral topaz scratch quartz or will quartz scratch topaz Why?
topaz has a hardness of 8 on the mohs hardness scale, quartz has a hardness of 7. topaz will be able to scratch quartz, but quartz can never scratch topaz.
What does mohs scale not measure?
Mohs measures relative hardness (quartz is harder than orthoclase; topaz is harder than quartz), but it doesn't accurately tell HOW MUCH harder something is than something else. There is another scale, called the Rockwell, which does this.

How hard is the aquamarine birthstone on the MOHs scale of hardness?

Does gypsum scratch flourite?
No. Gypsum has a hardness on the Mohs scale of 2. Topaz has a hardness on the Mohs scale of 8. This means that topaz ranks much harder than gypsum and that gypsum cannot scratch topaz. Please do not refer to these numbers as absolute hardness. This does not mean that topaz is 4 times as hard as gypsum since they are ranked 8 and 2. The Mohs scale only designates a hardness scale of 1 through 10 so that geologists and mineralogists in the field have a quick way of determining a mineral's identity or eliminating possible options of what the mineral may be.
