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!)
What else can I help you with?
What mineral can corundum scratch?
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.
What rocks can scratch a diamonds?
Diamonds can only be scratched by other diamonds. Diamond is the hardest natural mineral.
Do real diamonds scratch glass?
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
What mineral can scratch a diamond?
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.
Are diamonds the hardest thing on earth?
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.
What mineral can scratch everything?
diamonds you idiot, even guys can answer that !
What mineral can scratch all the minerals?
Diamonds are proven to scratch all minerals including itself.

What mineral can scratch fluorite?
the answer is something harder than fluorite some examples are granite , magnetite , diamonds , and quartz .
How do you determine how soft a mineral is?
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.
Can a diamond scrach a other diamond?
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.
Will fake diamond cut glass?
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.
