Yes, bornite can scratch pyrite. Bornite has a hardness of about 3 to 3.5 on the Mohs scale, while pyrite has a hardness of about 6 to 6.5. This means that bornite is softer than pyrite, allowing it to scratch the latter. However, in practice, bornite is not typically used as a scratching tool due to its brittleness.
If you rub pyrite against steel sparks would fly.

Quartz will scratch glass but not pyrite. Pyrite has a Mohs hardness of around 6 to 6.5, while quartz has a hardness of 7, making it capable of scratching glass but not pyrite.

Quartz will scratch glass, as its hardness is usually around 7. Pyrite, on the other hand, has a hardness of 6 to 6.5, meaning it would not be able to scratch glass.
It can be scratched by a diamond, corundum, topaz, and quartz.
Pyrite is the mineral whereas a pyrite 'cube' happens to be the habit in which the mineral has crystallised

The three minerals that are metals and can scratch glass are iron pyrite (pyrite), hematite, and magnetite. These minerals have a high hardness level, allowing them to scratch glass and show metallic luster.
The place you need to scratch stays itchy until you scratch it.
Pyrite is brittle and non-malleable. It will break into smaller pieces along cleavage planes.
If you mean pyrite or gold- gold is soft- pyrite is brittle. Gold melts easily- pyrite does not. Acid dissolves pyrite, but not gold. Finally- you may have heard "All that glitters is not gold". It SHOULD be "NOTHING that glitters is gold." Natural gold may be shiny, but does not glitter- like pyrites will.
orthoclase bc my earth science teacher taught me that, and also if yur school has castlelearning, yu can study or do hw or w.e. and know everything. im in the process of that. lol
