no it can't
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 !
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.
Diamonds are proven to scratch all minerals including itself.
apatite will not scratch quartz topaz calcite or corundum

Corundum can scratch all minerals except diamond, making it the second hardest mineral on the Mohs scale with a hardness of 9. Diamond, with a hardness of 10, is the only mineral that can scratch corundum.
Corundum and Diamond.
No, corundum cannot be scratched by diamond. Diamond is the hardest known mineral on the Mohs scale, ranking at 10, while corundum ranks at 9. This means that diamond can scratch corundum but not vice versa.
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 hardness, Diamond has a hardness of 10 and Quartz has a hardness of 7. Any mineral with a hardness greater than 7 can scratch quartz and diamond can scratch any mineral with a hardness less than 10. Corundum (hardness of 9) and Topaz (hardness of 8) are two examples of minerals that can scratch quartz but not diamond.
Diamonds can pretty much scratch any rocks and minerals.On something called, "Moh's Hardness Scale", the Diamond is the hardest one. So some examples of minerals it can scratch,~Corundum~Topaz~Quartz~Orthoclase~Apatite~Fluorite~Calcite~Gypsum~Talcand many, many more.Diamonds are one of the most hardest minerals.Hope I helped! (I'm learning this in science right now!)
Diamond is the hardest mineral that can scratch a steel knife or window glass.
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.
Diamond is harder than iron. Diamond is the hardest known natural mineral and can scratch iron.
diamond's hardness is a factor of 10. So this is the highest hardness, no mineral has this hardness! You can't scratch a diamond.
