topaz has a hardness of 8 on the mohs hardness scale, quartz has a hardness of 7. topaz will be able to scratch quartz, but quartz can never scratch topaz.
apatite will not scratch quartz topaz calcite or corundum
Yes. Corundum will scratch topaz and every other mineral with a hardness of 9 or lower on the Mohs hardness scale.
yes no, it doesnt Topaz is harder than qartz
There are many different kinds of glass, with different hardnesses, but for the most part the hardness of quartz can be taken as a maximum value. Topaz will in fact scratch quartz, so it should scratch nearly any kind of glass.

Yes. Corundum will scratch topaz and every other mineral with a hardness of 9 or lower on the Mohs hardness scale.

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.
Corundum and Diamond.
topaz calcite cooperate
It can be scratched by a diamond, corundum, topaz, and quartz.
A steel knife can scratch minerals with a hardness lower than that of steel, such as gypsum, calcite, fluorite, and talc. Minerals like quartz, topaz, and corundum are harder than steel and cannot be easily scratched by a steel knife.
