∙ 8y agoThe 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). The rose quartz is a 7.0.
