Topaz are used to make a variety of different jewelry. Chemical uses are still being worked on.
Somewhere between 3 and 5 on the Mohs scale of relative mineral hardness...
Topaz typically forms in granitic pegmatites and is found at depths of around 5 to 10 kilometers (3 to 6 miles) beneath the Earth's surface. It can also occur in volcanic rocks and alluvial deposits. The depth can vary based on geological conditions and the specific formation process of the mineral.
A mineral is a naturally occurring, inorganic solid substance with a specific chemical composition and orderly atomic structure. They are the building blocks of rocks and can be identified by their unique physical properties such as color, hardness, and crystal form. Minerals are important for various uses in everyday life, such as in technology, construction, and nutrition.
Using the Mohs Mineral Hardness scale, calcite has a hardness of 3. Hence anything with a hardness of 3 or above can scratch calcite (i.e...quartz and fluorite).

I only have 3 and they are mineral specimens, omamental stone, and gemstones
The mineral that can be scratched by glass but not a penny is calcite. Calcite has a hardness of 3 on the Mohs scale, which is lower than the hardness of glass (5.5) but higher than that of a penny (2.5).
Talc is the softest mineral.. here is the mohs scale of hardness 1. talc 2. gypsum 3.calcite 4.fluorite 5.apatite 6.orthoclase 7. quartz 8. topaz 9. corundum 10.diamond
Using the geological Moh's scale of hardness of minerals: 1 - Talc 2 - Gypsum 3 - Calcite 4 - Fluorite 5 - Apatite 6 - Feldspar 7 - Quartz 8 - Topaz 9 - Corundum 10 - Diamond
Any mineral with a Mohs hardness of 3 or above. Diamond, for instance.
