What does marble score on the scratch test?

Marble typically scores around 3 to 4 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, which is used to determine a material's resistance to scratching. This means it can be scratched by harder materials, such as quartz (which scores a 7) but not by softer materials like talc (which scores a 1). As a result, while marble is relatively durable, it is still susceptible to scratches from harder objects.
