yes.
My cat scratch me badly
does birch hardwood scratch easy
Diamond will scratch everything, including diamond.
No, gypsum cannot scratch topaz. Minerals with a higher number on the Moh's Hardness Scale can scratch minerals that are lower-numbered, but lower numbers can't scratch higher numbers. A mineral would have to have a number higher than an 8 on the Moh's hardness scale in order to scratch topaz.
no.
No. Sulfur is quite soft, Garnet is very hard.
a blue diamond! :P GEMUSE!! maybe a saphire.
The mineral that can scratch feldspar and can be scratched by garnet is quartz. Quartz has a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale, making it capable of scratching feldspar, which has a hardness of 6. Meanwhile, garnet has a hardness of around 6.5 to 7.5, allowing it to scratch quartz but not all varieties of garnet will scratch quartz.
Yes, garnet can scratch glass due to its hardness rating on the Mohs scale of 6.5-7.5, compared to glass which ranks at around 5.5.
Garnet, a mineral with a hardness of 6.5-7.5 on the Mohs scale, can scratch materials with a hardness lower than itself, like glass, steel, and softer minerals such as calcite and fluorite.
The mineral that fits this description is garnet. Garnet has a hardness of 6.5-7.5 on the Mohs scale, meaning it can scratch glass. It has a non-metallic luster, exhibits fracture rather than cleavage, and is commonly found in a dark red color.
The mineral you are describing is likely garnet, specifically a variety like almandine, which is dark red in color. Garnet has a hardness of about 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale, allowing it to scratch glass. It exhibits a non-metallic luster and typically shows a conchoidal fracture.
The field test for diamond is 'extreme hardness'. If you believe that you've found a diamond stone, you can take it to a jeweler, who will apply a probe and verify your find as a diamond stone, or not.
A mineral that can scratch glass, has a non-metallic luster, exhibits fracture, and is dark red in color is likely garnet, specifically varieties like almandine. Garnet typically has a hardness of about 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale, allowing it to scratch glass, and it often displays a vitreous to resinous luster. Its dark red hue and tendency to fracture rather than cleave further support this identification.
Where to find a garnet
a garnet is rarer. one of the rarest garnet is the alexandrite.
The grit on garnet paper is made up of sharp, angular particles that scratch and abrade the material being sanded. As the paper is used, these sharp edges break down and expose fresh cutting edges, maintaining its abrasive effectiveness.
