Would amethyst scratch glass and/or quartz?
I'm trying to figure out if this pendant I got is really quartz or pretty glass. I have a chunk of real amethyst with jagged edges, and I'd like to know if I can use it to find out.

Yes
Amethyst is a type of Quartz and is harder than glass, so it will scratch glass
Since it is a type of quartz, it is equally hard to other types of quartz and will scratch them as well
a mineral can scratch any other mineral that is of equal or greater hardness
It will scratch both substances…
