Which mineral will not scratch quartz topaz calcite or corundum?
apatite will not scratch quartz topaz calcite or corundum
Which mineral on Mohs Hardness Scale will scratch calcite but will not scratch apatite?
Fluorite, which has a hardness of 4 on the Mohs Hardness Scale, can scratch calcite (hardness 3) but will not scratch apatite (hardness 5). Thus, fluorite fits the criteria of being able to scratch calcite while not being able to scratch apatite.
Can calcite scratch other minerals if so which one?
No.because calcite is softer then feldspar
What will scratch calcite?
Using the Mohs Mineral Hardness scale, calcite has a hardness of 3. Hence anything with a hardness of 3 or above can scratch calcite (i.e...quartz and fluorite).
Can amber scratch talc but not calcite?
Yes
What mineral that can scratch gypsum but cant scratch calcite?
Between 2 and 3 because its hard enough gypsum but it can not scratch calcite because calcite is harder

Can calcite scratch feldspar?
no
What can scratch calcite?
calcite is a 3 on the Mohs scale of Hardness and can scratch anything that's under it. just that simple
Which mineral on Mohs Hardness Scale will scratch calcite but will not scratch apatite?
Fluorite, which has a hardness of 4 on the Mohs Hardness Scale, can scratch calcite (hardness 3) but will not scratch apatite (hardness 5). Thus, fluorite fits the criteria of being able to scratch calcite while not being able to scratch apatite.
Is this statement true or false that apatite can scratch calcite?
Yes.Apatite - Ca5(PO4)3OH - has a Mohs hardness of 5.Calcite - CaCO3 - has a Mohs hardness of 5.
Can Apatite can scratch calcite?
True
Can calcite scratch other minerals if so which one?
No.because calcite is softer then feldspar
Which mineral is hard enough to scratch calcite but is not hard enough to scratch amphibole?
Quartz is hard enough to scratch calcite, as it has a higher hardness rating on the Mohs scale. However, quartz is not hard enough to scratch amphibole minerals, which are generally harder than calcite.
Can appetite scratch calcite?
No, appetite (also known as apatite) is not hard enough to scratch calcite. Calcite is a mineral that is harder than appetite on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness.
