The Mohs hardness of bentonite clay typically ranges from 1 to 2.5. This means it is a relatively soft material that can be easily scratched with a fingernail or copper coin.
Mohs scale.
The Mohs scale is used to determine the relative hardness of minerals.
The highest level on the Mohs hardness scale is a level ten. Diamonds are at a level ten and are also intrusive rocks. However Intrusive rocks can be at almost any level of hardness based on the minerals the rock contains.
The hardness of a rock is called its "Mohs scale hardness." This scale ranks minerals and rocks based on their scratch resistance, with diamond being the hardest at 10 and talc being the softest at 1.
how do rocks differ in shape hardness color texture
Rocks have color, grain, specific density, and relative hardness.
Orthoclase has a hardness of 6 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness. It is a common mineral found in granite and other igneous rocks.
