A mineral with a hardness of 6?
Orthoclase feldspar is 6 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness.
How hard is orthoclase feldspar?
On the Mohs Scale of mineral hardness, feldspar is 6 and quartz is 7, so quartz is harder. What does this mean? quartz will scratch feldspar, but feldspar will not scratch quartz.
Can talc scratch feldspar?
According to Mohs' Hardness Scale, talc registers at a 1, whilst feldspar registers at a 6, so, no, talc cannot scratch feldspar.
What mineral can scratch feldspar but not quartz?
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.
What would happen if you rubb a pice of florite against a pice of fieldaspar?
Well it would crack then it would get fractured... and if you have any Fluorite and Feldspar try it at home and then scratch it against a tile and watch what happens it looks really cool. i hope this helped you guys!
Would feldspar be use to test mineral hardness?
Yes "feldspar" is one of the minerals on Moh's scale of hardness.
A mineral with a hardness of 6?
Orthoclase feldspar is 6 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness.
What mineral has hardness of 6?
Orthoclase feldspar is 6 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness.
Which mineral has a hardness of 6 and has cleavage?
Orthoclase Feldspar.
How hard is orthoclase?
hardness for orthoclase feldspar is 6.0
What is the hardness of feldspar?
Feldspars generally have a hardness of 6 on Mohs' hardness scale.
How hard is orthoclase feldspar?
On the Mohs Scale of mineral hardness, feldspar is 6 and quartz is 7, so quartz is harder. What does this mean? quartz will scratch feldspar, but feldspar will not scratch quartz.
Is feldspar heavy?
Feldspar is a 6 on the hardness level and diamond is the hardest t 10. Feldspar is not very heavy- about the weight of granite or quartz (the average rock)
Can talc scratch feldspar?
According to Mohs' Hardness Scale, talc registers at a 1, whilst feldspar registers at a 6, so, no, talc cannot scratch feldspar.

What is the mohs scale for Feldspar?
Basalt scores an 8 on the Moh's scale. This makes it harder than quartz and vanadium, but weaker than boron and titanium carbide. It can easily scratch steel and glass. It is just about as hard as topaz. Basalt is also an igneous rock, formed by hardened lava, which explains why it is so hard.
Glass has a hardness of about 5.5 what minerals would scratch the glass?
There are many minerals with hardness above 5.5 but the standard ones are feldspar,quartz, topaz, corundum and diamond.
