What else can I help you with?
Which minerals on Mohs' hardness scale can be scratched by quartz?
Othoclase, apatite, fluorite, calcite, gypsum, and talc.
What is the luster of apatite?
Like quartz it has a glassy luster
On mohs' hardness scale what mineral is harder than quartz but harder than appetite?
If you mean isn't harder than quartz but harder than apatite ( you spelled it wrong), that would be Orthoclase Feldspar. Else the minerals that are harder than both apatite and quartz are topaz, corundum, and diamond (diamond being the hardest, well the hardest non synthetic mineral).
What two minerals are harder than calcite but softer than quartz?
Fluorite and apatite are two minerals that are harder than calcite but softer than quartz on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness. They have hardness values of 4 (fluorite) and 5 (apatite) respectively, compared to 3 for calcite and 7 for quartz.
What is the mineral that can scratch fluorite but not quartz?
There are many, anything that has a hardness greater than 4 and less than 7, like Plagioclase. Just listing the ones on the Mohs scale, there's apatite and orthoclase.
What can be scratched by glass but not a penny quartz apatite topaz or gypsum?
topaz
Which minerals on Mohs' hardness scale can be scratched by quartz?
Othoclase, apatite, fluorite, calcite, gypsum, and talc.
What is apatite quartz?
Apatite quartz refers to a type of quartz crystal that contains inclusions of apatite minerals. These inclusions give the quartz a distinctive look and can vary in color from green to blue to yellow. Apatite quartz is highly valued by collectors for its unique beauty and metaphysical properties.
What is the luster of apatite?
Like quartz it has a glassy luster
What unknown mineral is found to scratch apatite and to be scratched by corundum?
The unknown mineral would be topaz. Topaz lies between apatite and corundum on the Mohs scale, making it capable of scratching apatite and being scratched by corundum.
Which mineral will not scratch quartz topaz calcite or corundum?
apatite will not scratch quartz topaz calcite or corundum
Which minerals can scratch apatite?
Minerals that can scratch apatite include fluorite, quartz, topaz, and corundum. These minerals have a higher hardness level than apatite on the Mohs scale, which allows them to scratch apatite.
On mohs' hardness scale what mineral is harder than quartz but harder than appetite?
If you mean isn't harder than quartz but harder than apatite ( you spelled it wrong), that would be Orthoclase Feldspar. Else the minerals that are harder than both apatite and quartz are topaz, corundum, and diamond (diamond being the hardest, well the hardest non synthetic mineral).
What is softer than quarts but harder than apatite?
Topaz is softer than quartz but harder than apatite on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness. It has a hardness of 8 on the scale, whereas quartz has a hardness of 7 and apatite has a hardness of 5.
What two minerals are harder than calcite but softer than quartz?
Fluorite and apatite are two minerals that are harder than calcite but softer than quartz on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness. They have hardness values of 4 (fluorite) and 5 (apatite) respectively, compared to 3 for calcite and 7 for quartz.
What is the mineral that can scratch fluorite but not quartz?
There are many, anything that has a hardness greater than 4 and less than 7, like Plagioclase. Just listing the ones on the Mohs scale, there's apatite and orthoclase.
Which mineral on the mohs scale will scratch apatite?
Minerals that will scratch apatite must be more than a 5 on the Moh's hardness scale. So feldspar, quartz, topaz, corundum, and diamond will scratch apatite.
