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!)
