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).
Quartz is harder than apatite, quartz being a 7 on the Mohs mineral hardness scale and apatite being a 5.
Quartz- hardness 7 on Mohs Scale. (Calcite: 3, galena 2.5, talc 1)
According to the Mohs scale of hardness, Diamond has a hardness of 10 and Quartz has a hardness of 7. Any mineral with a hardness greater than 7 can scratch quartz and diamond can scratch any mineral with a hardness less than 10. Corundum (hardness of 9) and Topaz (hardness of 8) are two examples of minerals that can scratch quartz but not diamond.
The 5 hardness mineral would like suffer scratches or abrasion.
On the Mohs scale, rose quartz has a hardness of 7.0. Rose quartz is a mineral found in different parts of the world, including Madagascar and India. The Mohs scale is used to measure a minerals' hardness or scratch resistance.
the mineral that has a hardness of 7 is "Quarts
No. Quartz is harder than steel (based on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness), and diamond is THE hardest mineral.
The hardness of the mineral pyrite, or Fool's Gold, is about 6 on the Mohs hardness scale. That's a little harder than a steel knife blade, but not as hard as the mineral quartz

Talc Diamond Quartz
Hi, Diamond has a hardness of 10, quartz is between 7 and 8 depending on what quartzite mineral . So Diamond is the hardest.
There is no mineral that would satisfy the question. If a mineral is able to scratch feldspar, it would have a Mohs hardness of 6 or above. Fluorite is rated as a 4. It would be impossible for a mineral which scratches feldspar to be unable to scratch fluorite.
