Diamonds can pretty much scratch any rocks and minerals.
On something called, "Moh's Hardness Scale", the Diamond is the hardest one. So some examples of minerals it can scratch,
~Corundum
~Topaz
~Quartz
~Orthoclase
~Apatite
~Fluorite
~Calcite
~Gypsum
~Talc
and many, many more.
Diamonds are one of the most hardest minerals.
Hope I helped! (I'm learning this in science right now!)
Corundum can scratch all minerals except diamond, making it the second hardest mineral on the Mohs scale with a hardness of 9. Diamond, with a hardness of 10, is the only mineral that can scratch corundum.
Diamonds can only be scratched by other diamonds. Diamond is the hardest natural mineral.
A diamond has a hardness of 10 on a scale of 10 known as Mohs Hardness Scale. A diamond can scratch any other mineral. It isn't the only mineral that can scratch glass thou, quartz, corundum,garnet, among others
diamond's hardness is a factor of 10. So this is the highest hardness, no mineral has this hardness! You can't scratch a diamond.
Yes, diamonds are the hardest naturally occurring substance on Earth. They score a perfect 10 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, which measures a mineral's scratch resistance.
diamonds you idiot, even guys can answer that !
Diamonds are proven to scratch all minerals including itself.
Corundum can scratch all minerals except diamond, making it the second hardest mineral on the Mohs scale with a hardness of 9. Diamond, with a hardness of 10, is the only mineral that can scratch corundum.

Since diamond is the hardest mineral, diamonds are used to enhance tools and precision instruments, simply because they can cut through **anything**.
Yes, diamonds are the hardest naturally occurring substance on Earth. They score a perfect 10 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, which measures a mineral's scratch resistance.
the answer is something harder than fluorite some examples are granite , magnetite , diamonds , and quartz .
The hardness of a mineral is categorized on the Mohs hardness scale with talc as 1 and diamond as 10. A mineral can only be scratched bya mineral that is as hard or harder than the first mineral. So talc can scratch talc but nothing else. A diamond can scratch every other mienral including itself. Cordundum with a hardness of 9 can't scratch diamonds but can scratch a lot of other minderals.
Yes, diamonds can scratch other diamonds. Diamonds are the hardest known natural substance, scoring a 10 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness. Therefore, a diamond can easily scratch another diamond if sufficient force is applied.
Your answer depends on the composition of the 'fake diamond' and the composition of glass. Each mineral has a rating on the Mohs Scale of hardness. The harder mineral will scratch the softer mineral.
