Hardness is measured by the resistance which a smooth surface offers to abrasion. The degree of hardness is determined by observing the comparative ease or difficulty which which one mineral is scratched by another. Table showing Mohs relative hardness scale.

Hardness. Hardness (H) is the resistance of a mineral to scratching. It is a property by which minerals may be described relative to a standard scale of 10 minerals known as the Mohs scale of hardness.The degree of hardness is determined by observing the comparative ease or difficulty with which one mineral is scratched by another or by a steel tool.

HARDNESS The hardness of a mineral can be measured by its resistance to scratching or abrasion. The Mohs scale is a set of 10 common minerals chosen for comparative hardness. The minerals are arranged in order of increasing hardness each mineral will scratch all that precedeit, and be scratched by all that follow it. The Mohs scale is as follows

Hardness is determined by the ability of one mineral to scratch another. Federick Mohs, a German mineralogist, produced a hardness scale (table 5) using a set of ten standard minerals. The scale arranges the minerals in order of increasing hardness. Each higher-numbered (harder) mineral will scratch any mineral with a lower number (softer).

The Mohs hardness scale is based 10 reference minerals, from talc the softest (Mohs hardness of 1), to diamond the hardest (Mohs hardness of 10). It is a relative, or nonlinear, scale. A hardness of 2.5 simply means that the mineral is harder than gypsum (Mohs hardness of 2) and softer than calcite (Mohs hardness of 3).

Jun 16, 2020 Mohs hardness test uses 10 reference materials of varying hardness as the scale for the test. The softest material used is talc (value1) and the hardest material is diamond (value10). Given that the references used for the Mohs scale do not have a graded increase, the Mohs scale lacks accuracy and is only a rough measure of hardness.
