Can a paperclip scratch calcite?
No, a paperclip is not hard enough to scratch calcite. Calcite is a mineral with a hardness of 3 on the Mohs scale, while a paperclip is softer and would not be able to scratch calcite.
Which mineral will not scratch quartz topaz calcite or corundum?
apatite will not scratch quartz topaz calcite or corundum
Can calcite scratch other minerals if so which one?
No.because calcite is softer then feldspar
Can amber scratch talc but not calcite?
Yes
Considering physical properties how do quartz and calcite differ?
Quartz is harder than calcite, making it more scratch-resistant. Quartz also has a higher melting point than calcite. Additionally, quartz is typically transparent or translucent, whereas calcite can be transparent, translucent, or opaque.
Can a paperclip scratch calcite?

No.because calcite is softer then feldspar
Which mineral is hard enough to scratch calcite but is not hard enough to scratch amphibole?
Quartz is hard enough to scratch calcite, as it has a higher hardness rating on the Mohs scale. However, quartz is not hard enough to scratch amphibole minerals, which are generally harder than calcite.
Can appetite scratch calcite?
No, appetite (also known as apatite) is not hard enough to scratch calcite. Calcite is a mineral that is harder than appetite on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness.
