Any mineral with roughly a hardness of 6 or more on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness could scratch glass, which is roughly 5.5 on the Mohs scale. Some minerals that could scratch glass would be quartz, topaz, corundum, and diamond.
no, rubies and emeralds and even sapphires can scratch glass. i found Pirates Fools Gold Iron Pyrite can also scratch glass.
Pretty much any gem that is sharpened can scratch glass, especially a diamond...
Quartz, Diamond, Topaz, Corcundum, and Feldspar
Any mineral with a hardness of around or above 5.5 on the Mohs Hardness Scale will scratch glass, such as orthoclase, quartz, topaz, corundum, and diamond.
no diamonds are the strongest substance if you hit a diamond with a hammer nothing would happen but with glass it would break
Most rocks would.
A few minerals that do not scratch glass come to mind . . . talc, asbestos, mica, for instance.
it can scratch fluorite
The Mohs Scale of Hardness is used to measure hardness of a mineral, which is its resistance to scratching. It is a quantitative scale, which relies on the relative hardness of other minerals . Higher numbered minerals scratch lower numbered ones. You can use every day objects like a glass plate, a knife, or a nail to distinguish hard and soft. Hard minerals scratch glass, but can't be scratched with a knife blade of a nail. Soft minerals will not scratch glass, but can be scratched with a knife blade or masonry nail. You can purchase hardness kits to help make these distinctions.
Talc is supposed to be too fragile to cause a scratch on the majority of minerals.
No
Diamond

feldspar, quartz, topaz, corundum, diamond.... Diamond will diffidently scratch glass its also made to cut glass if you get tech with it. (alyssamc6)
There are many minerals with hardness above 5.5 but the standard ones are feldspar,quartz, topaz, corundum and diamond.
I think it's either glass or minerals harder than 7 or 6 srry lol
scratching the mineral acrros a glass plate
Diamond is the hardest naturally occurring mineral and can scratch all other minerals. Talc is the softest of minerals and cannot scratch any other mineral.
Diamonds are proven to scratch all minerals including itself.
it can scratch fluorite
Yes, glass can scratch glass. The hardness of the material determines if it will cause a scratch, with harder materials like diamonds being able to scratch glass. It is best to avoid rubbing glass objects against each other to prevent scratches.
