It would have a Mohs hardness somewhere between 2.5 and 5.5.
Minerals are tested for hardness by performing a scratch test. The unknown mineral is scratched with another object that the hardness is known. For example, a unknown mineral may be scratched with a piece of metal to compare the resistance.
Google "Mohs hardness scale". This is a relative hardness scale which compares one mineral's hardness to another. (It is between 3.5 and 5.5 on the Mohs hardness scale)
Bond strength is related to mineral hardness. Minerals with strong chemical bonds tend to have high hardness, while minerals with weaker bonds have lower hardness. This is because the strength of the bonds affects how easily the mineral can be scratched or deformed.
The hardness of pegmatite can vary depending on its mineral composition, but it typically falls between 6 to 7 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness. This means that pegmatite is harder than steel but softer than quartz.

The mineral with hardness 3 will get scratched.
The unknown mineral would have a hardness greater than 5.5 (the hardness of glass) but less than 7 (the hardness of quartz). Based on the Mohs Hardness Scale, the unknown mineral would likely have a hardness between 6 and 7.
Somewhere between 3 and 5 on the Mohs scale of relative mineral hardness...
Between 3.5 and 5.5 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness.
No, there is no correlation between color and hardness in minerals.
Between 2 and 4. Calcite, which has a hardness of 3, is one example.
the mineral that has a hardness of 7 is "Quarts

The mineral with the greatest hardness is the diamond.
