What kind of gems is the worlds strongest?
Diamonds are the hardest mineral/gem in the world but they are brittle. The next step down from diamonds are sapphires and rubies. They arent brittle and are quite hard. On a scale of 1 to 10, diamonds (#10) being the hardest, sapphires rank 9. For more on the scale I used. Google MOHs scale of hardness
What is the density of a sapphire?
The Mohs scale is used to measure the hardness of a mineral by its resistance to scratching. From softest to hardest, for example, the ten minerals of the Mohs scale are talc (measuring 1 on the scale), gypsum, calcite, fluorite, apatite, orthoclase, quartz, topaz, corundum, and diamond (measuring 10 on the scale). A sapphire is a 9.0.
What is mosh and scale of hardness?
Mohs' scale of hardness is a test created by mineralogist Friedrich Mohs, which determines the relative hardness of minerals, on a hypothetical scale of 1-10, where 1 is very soft (eg Talc) and 10 is extremely hard (eg Diamond).
Why is Moh's Scale is important to scientists?
Moh's scale is a scale of relative hardness of material and minerals. The scale goes from 1 to 10, 1 being the easiest to scratch and 10 being the hardest ( Talc-1; Diamond-10)
How are minerals reprsented on the moh scale?
There are ten (10) minerals on the Moh's scale that represent the hardness for all minerals. Starting with the softest, #1, Talc and all minerals of the same properties all the way up till #10, Diamond being the hardest. So here's the complete table: #1 Talc #2 Gypsum #3 Calcite #4 Fluorite #5 Apatite #6 Feldspar #7 Quartz #8 Topaz #9 Corundum #10 Diamond
What is the Mohs hardness test?
The Mohs hardness scale is basically a scale used for determining how hard a mineral. More specifically the scale measures the ability of one mineral to scratch another. The Mohs scale ranges from 1 to 10, 1 being the softest and 10 being the hardest. Some examples by hardness include: 1. Talc 2. Gypsum 3. Calcite 4. Fluorite 5. Apatite 6. Feldspar 7. Quartz 8. Topaz 9. Ruby 10. Diamond

How hard is a dimond?
Extremely hard....Diamond rates a 10 on the Moh's scale of hardness...on a scale of 1 (softest) to 10 (hardest). Diamond is the hardest known naturally occurring substance on the planet. And the dimond is so hard on the scale it can cut through glass, amazing!.

What is mohs scale of hardest and equivalent easy test?
from 1 to 10, talc, gypsum, calcite, fluorite, apatite, orthoclase, quartz, topaz, corundum, diamond. e.g hardness 6 will scratch or abrade apatite but will be scratched or abraded by quartz
