I would say not likely. Most metals are rather soft in their pure form. One of the most distinguishing characteristics about metals is that they are sectile, or easily cut with a knife. Silver has a hardness (on the Mohs scale) of 3. That is probably not going to scratch many other minerals.
What else can I help you with?
Can quartz scratch other rocks and minerals?
Yes, quartz is considered a hard mineral ranking 7 on the Mohs scale of hardness, making it able to scratch most other minerals. However, there are harder minerals such as diamond and corundum that can scratch quartz.
Can barite scratch other rocks or minerals?
Yes, barite is a relatively soft mineral with a Mohs hardness of 3-3.5, so it can be easily scratched by harder minerals. It is unlikely to scratch most common minerals or rocks, but can be scratched by harder minerals such as quartz or topaz.
Can magnetite scratch other rocks and minerals?
Yes magnatite does and it can be scratched by a nail Jk!
What rocks can scratch a diamonds?
Diamonds can only be scratched by other diamonds. Diamond is the hardest natural mineral.
What rocks contain copper?
Copper is commonly found in rocks such as chalcopyrite, bornite, and chalcocite. These minerals typically form in hydrothermal veins or as replacement deposits in various types of rock formations. Copper can also be found in minerals like azurite and malachite, which are secondary copper minerals resulting from weathering and oxidation processes.
Can moonstone scratch other rocks and minerals?
yes it can
Can a diamond scratch a rock or mineral?
Diamond will scratch all rocks and other minerals, including itself.

What is the scratch table of rocks and minerals?
The scratch table is called the Mohs Scale of Mineral Hardness and measures the hardness of minerals in relation to the known hardest (diamond) and softest (talc) minerals.
What are the rocks and minerals in Florida?
Moonstone, Agitized Coral, Copper
What rocks does dioptase form?
Dioptase forms in copper deposits in association with minerals such as malachite, azurite, and chrysocolla. It is commonly found in sedimentary rocks like sandstone and limestone where copper minerals are present.
Are cars made of rocks and minerals?
Cars are made of steel, aluminum, copper, & magnesium. All these come from rocks or minerals. So the answer is yes.
