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.
Talc
The softest mineral is talc, and the hardest is diamond. You can check this on the Mohs hardness scale.

Diamond is the hardest mineral and ranked as number '10' according to the Mohs hardness scale.The Mohs scale minerals from softest to hardest:1. Talc (softest)2. Gypsum3. Calcite4. Fluorite5. Apatite6. Feldspar7. Quartz8. Topaz9. Corundum10. Diamond (hardest)
a scale that ranks ten minerals from softest to hardest
the softest rock is talc and the hardest is a diamond
The hardest mineral is diamond, and the softest mineral is talc.
The hardest mineral is diamond, and the softest mineral is talc.
diamond is the hardest and graphite is the softest
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.
