most likely would be bullet proof glass which can with stand forces such as 50.cal bullets and sometimes even medium size hand grenades
Correction, In Sweden they resently made a new discovery, they are under Swedish patent making a sort of glass that is so sharp and so strong that you can littraly shave steel with it.. if it would be a good glass to use on windows i do not know, but it is the worlds strongest glass... they are mainly making attempts to use it in bearings sense glass use less friction than steel, and does not need to be greaced at all compared to steel and sense its less friction they also don't need maintnance... they plan on expanding the production and venture into different fields of markets... to make this glass they exchange oxygen with carbon dioxide instead... the cost to make this glass is today more expensive than regular glass... but not by very much

There are many different glasses with different chemical compositions, so it depends on the kind of glass. Glasses with a high percentage of silica are a lot harder than those with a lower percentage of silica content. Soda-Lime glass is harder and more brittle than Borosilicate glass.
6-6.5 on the mohs scale
It would have to be 5.0 because glass has a hardness of 5.5 and an iron nail has the hardness of 4.5
It would have to be 5.0 because glass has a hardness of 5.5 and an iron nail has the hardness of 4.5
The hardness of glass is around 6, and the hardness of iron is about 5. So your mineral is probably around a 5.5.
No. The hardness of serpentine is 3-4.5, whereas a hardness of at least 7 is needed to scratch glass.
Glass is about 6-6.5
Glass has a hardness of 5.5 Minerals with hardness nearest to that of glass include apatite, which is slightly softer than glass with a hardness of 5.0, and orthoclase, which is slightly harder than glass with a hardness of 6.0.

On the Mohs Scale of hardness, diamond rates as 10, which is the hardest. Its hardness relative to glass depends on the chemical composition of the glass.
Glass is about 6-6.5
Marble, CaCO3 will not usually scratch glass, but maybe a very soft glass. Marble has a hardness of 3 to 4, whereas glass is 4.5 to 6. (in a relative hardness scale.)
It would have to be 5.0 because glass has a hardness of 5.5 and an iron nail has the hardness of 4.5

Mineral hardness is tested on a glass plate or usually a finger nail.
The hardness of quartz on the Mohs scale is seven and can scratch glass.
