When you scratch a rock on something, it’s often referred to as testing the rock's hardness or conducting a scratch test. This is commonly done to identify minerals using the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, which ranks minerals based on their ability to scratch one another. The process can help determine the composition and characteristics of the rock or mineral being tested.
