According to the Mohs scale - the softest mineral (with a value of 1) is talc.
a scale that ranks ten minerals from softest to hardest
The scratch table is called the Mohs Scale of Mineral Hardness and measures the hardness of minerals in relation to the known hardest (diamond) and softest (talc) minerals.
includes: Quartz, Topaz, Corundum, and Diamond. Look up MOHS Hardness Scale. It shows minerals (1-10) softest to hardest. :)
it is a geological scale that measures the hardness of different minerals. Talc being the softest and a diamond being the hardest.
One of the softest rocks is Talc. Talc is a mineral not a rock!Minerals are pure, rocks can be formed from one or more minerals. A piece of talc is a rock formed of a single mineral.Clays, are rocks and can be very soft.
The softest mineral is talc, and the hardest is diamond. You can check this on the Mohs hardness scale.

whatever comes to mind
The Mohs Hardness Scale. PS: Talc is one of the softest minerals

Talc - softest Gypsum Calcite Fluorite Apatite Orthoclase feldspar Quartz Topaz Corundum Diamond -hardest
Some minerals are hard yet some are soft. Talc is the softest mineral as diamond is the hardest mineral. You can look at this on the hardness scale. It goes from one to ten, so talc is one as diamond is ten.
According to the Mohs scale - the softest mineral (with a value of 1) is talc.
Yes, Talc is a mineral. It is in fact the softest mineral EVER! If you don't believe me---check the Moh's scale. It is IN FACT the #1 softest. It's true!
Yes, some. Though gold is a soft element it is not the softest
