On the Mohs scale of relative mineral hardness, diamond is the hardest at 10.
How hard is a moissanite on the mohs scale of mineral hardness?
10 is the hardest mineral on the scale. Since Mohs understood this to be the diamond (based on tests scratching different minerals) the diamond was designated a 10.

Why can a diamond scratch chalk?
No. Hardness is measured on the Mohs Scale, named after German Friedrich Mohs. On this scale Talc (the softest) measures 1, while Diamond (the hardest) measures 10. Glass has a Mohs' scale hardness of around 5.5, so anything above that will have the ability to scratch glass. For example, quartz (Mohs 7), hardened steel (Mohs 8), corundum (rubies and sapphires, Mohs 9),or diamond (Mohs 10). The Mohs scale is purely an ordinal scale, expressing relative hardness in a simplistic way. Carborundum (Mohs 9) is twice as hard as Topaz (Mohs 8), but diamond (Mohs 10) is four times harder than arborundum.
