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).
The minerals found in Delhi, I am not sure about. But I do know this that there are some industries which use them. Some of them are: 1) Alka minerals and chemicals 2) Chemico Industry 3) Dee Kay minerals 4) Deepika minerals and chemicals 5) Graphite & Co. 6) MCA Industries 7) P.S. Industries 8) Graphite depot 9) Dolphin Industries 10) S.K. minerals

Minerals are important to living things because they use them to form complex enzymes and proteins. Minerals (ores) can be economically important: 1. The country can earn foreign currency by selling the minerals to other countries. 2. Jewellery can be made from gold and diamond, and even ruby, emerald, etc. 3. Household needs can be met e.g. bauxite, when processed, is turned into aluminum and so we get foil.
It is the Mohs scale of mineral hardness. It characterizes the scratch resistance of various minerals through the ability of a harder material to scratch a softer material. The scale assigns numbers 1-10. 10 being the hardest of minerals(e.g. diamonds), and 1 being the softest minerals(e.g. talc). Generally minerals with a H<5 are softer minerals and minerals H>5 are harder.
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).
Scientists use the hardness test, and more specifically Mohs Hardness Scale, named after a Freidrich Mohs, a German mineralogist. Mohs Hardness Scale test can scale from 1 to 10, where 1 is softest and 10 is hardest.

Minerologists identify mineral harness with a variety of tools. In order of hardness, they gnerally use their fingernails, nails, copper pennies, knife blades, glass, porcelain and other minerals such as quartz, topaz, corundum and diamond. The Moh's Hardness Scale gives a list of minerals in order of hardness with talc being the softest with a rating of "1" and diamond the hardest at a "10".
Minerals come in different shapes and sizes. Mineralogists have to see if it's a real mineral this is what they do.1. Look at the color2. Do a streak test3. They can shine it in ultraviolet light4. They can test how hard it is-Science Whiz

1. How do minerals affect society?
clarify
Minerals are a non-renewable resource. It takes thousands of years for the formation and concentration of minerals. The rate of formation is much smaller than the rate at which the humans consume these minerals. It is necessary to reduce wastage in the process of mining. Minerals can be conserved in by the following measures: · Use of improved technologies to allow use of low grade minerals at low costs · Using substitutes · Use of scrap metals · Recycling of metals is good way in which the mineral resources can be conserved. they can be used in a judicious manner
The Mohs Scale of Hardness was developed by German mineralogist Friedrich Mohs. Higher numbers are assigned to minerals that scratch the harder common objects on the scale. i. 10- Diamond ii. 9- Corundum iii. 8- Topaz iv. 7- Quartz v. 6.5- Streak Plate vi. 6- Orthoclase Feldspar vii. 5.5- Glass, Masonry Nail, Knife Blade viii. 5- Apatite ix. 4.5- Wire (iron) nail x. 4- Flourite xi. 3.5- Brass (wood screw, washer) xii. 3- Calcite, Copper coin (penny) xiii. 2.5- Fingernail xiv. 2- Gypsum xv. 1- TalcMoh's hardness test
