I would guarantee that diamond would scratch it, and types of corundum like rubies, sapphires and raw corundum probably would, because it is 9 on the moh's scale of hardness. Quartz, emerald, agate and topaz would also scratch it.
Diamond is the hardest mineral and is the only one that can scratch corundum. but in my opinion corundum will scratch corundum any mineral of the same hardness will scratch the other !
Talc is the mineral that cannot scratch any of the other minerals on the Mohs hardness scale. It has a hardness of 1, making it the softest mineral. This means that all other minerals, which have a higher hardness rating, can scratch talc, but talc itself cannot scratch any of them.
false a mineral can not scratch any mineral harder than itself
Fluorite is unable to scratch feldspar, quartz, corundum, diamond, or any other mineral with a Mohs hardness greater than 4.
According to the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, quartz (7) will not scratch any mineral with a higher number on the scale. Corundum is listed at 9. Therefore quartz will not scratch corundum, but corundum can scratch quartz.
A diamond is the only material that cannot be scratched by any other than itself.
Talc is the mineral that cannot scratch any mineral by itself. It has a Mohs hardness of 1, making it the softest mineral on the Mohs scale, which means it can be easily scratched by all other minerals.

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.
dimonds is hard enough to scratch anything.
false a mineral can not scratch any mineral harder than itself
True. In general, a mineral can scratch any mineral that is softer than itself according to Mohs Scale of Mineral Hardness. This means that a mineral with a higher number on the scale can scratch a mineral with a lower number.
No, it is just the opposite.
Fluorite is unable to scratch feldspar, quartz, corundum, diamond, or any other mineral with a Mohs hardness greater than 4.
It might smell of the dirt of the ground from which it is mined, if it has any odor at all.
False. A mineral can only scratch itself or minerals equal in hardness or softer than it.
