What else can I help you with?
What are 8 examples of minerals?
Diamond, graphite, quartz, topaz, calcite, fluorite, dolomite, magnetite, hematite, pyrite...
Which is better for jewelry calcite or quartz?
Quartz is generally better for jewelry than calcite due to its hardness and durability. Quartz has a Mohs hardness of 7, making it more resistant to scratching and chipping compared to calcite, which has a hardness of 3. This makes quartz better suited for everyday wear and longevity in jewelry pieces.
Which minerals on Mohs' hardness scale can be scratched by quartz?
Othoclase, apatite, fluorite, calcite, gypsum, and talc.
Can you give examples of minerals from softest to hardest?
Talc - softest Gypsum Calcite Fluorite Apatite Orthoclase feldspar Quartz Topaz Corundum Diamond -hardest
Which minerals will not scratch quartz?
Quartz has a Mohs hardness of 7, meaning minerals that are softer than quartz (Mohs < 7) will not be able to scratch it. Some examples include talc (Mohs 1), gypsum (Mohs 2), calcite (Mohs 3), and fluorite (Mohs 4).

Can calcite scratch other minerals if so which one?
No.because calcite is softer then feldspar
What mineral can you find in your bedroom?
Common minerals found in bedrooms include gypsum (found in drywall), quartz (used in some countertops or decor), and calcite (in some types of flooring or decorative stones).
Which minerals on Mohs' hardness scale can be scratched by quartz?
Othoclase, apatite, fluorite, calcite, gypsum, and talc.
Can you give examples of minerals from softest to hardest?
Talc - softest Gypsum Calcite Fluorite Apatite Orthoclase feldspar Quartz Topaz Corundum Diamond -hardest
Sandstone made from?
Sand, usually quartz sand, with the grains cemented together by some other mineral, such as calcite, gypsum, haematite, or clay.
Which minerals will not scratch quartz?
Quartz has a Mohs hardness of 7, meaning minerals that are softer than quartz (Mohs < 7) will not be able to scratch it. Some examples include talc (Mohs 1), gypsum (Mohs 2), calcite (Mohs 3), and fluorite (Mohs 4).
What is a ranking of minerals from sofest to hardest?
Well the mohs hardness scale, goes upwarda by 1 everytime and diamond (10) being the hardest is Talc Gypsum Calcite Flurite Appatite Fieldspat Quartz Topaz Corundum Diamond
Which material would scratch the other quartz or calcite?
Quartz, with a hardness of 7, will scratch calcite, with a hardness of 3.
What type of rock weathers the fastest?
Sedimentary rock weathers the fastest and easiest
What rock most likely be monominerallic?
Quartz is a common example of a monominerallic rock because it is composed almost entirely of the mineral quartz. Other monominerallic rocks include limestone (composed of calcite) and gypsum (composed of gypsum).
