The Mohs scale of mineral hardness was created in 1812 by the German mineralogist Friedrich Mohs and is one of several definitions of hardness in materials science.
German mineralogist Friedrich Mohs, in 1812.
Friedrich Mohs developed the 'Mohs scale of mineral hardness'.
The German geologist Friedrich Mohs developed a scale in which an unknown mineral's hardness can be compared to the known hardnesses of ten minerals.

Talc is #1 on the Mohs scale of hardness.

You can test its hardness on other minerals to find it hardness. It can help classify it better.

The Mohs scale is used to determine the relative hardness of minerals.

Yes "feldspar" is one of the minerals on Moh's scale of hardness.
The German mineralogist Frederick Mohs (1773-1839).
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).
Minerals have a fairly specific range of hardness, based on the Mohs hardness scale. The Mohs scale is based on the ability of a mineral to be scratched, or scratch, another mineral. Using the Mohs scale to determine mineral hardness is one test that can be used to help identify one mineral from others.

In 1822 scientist Friedrich Mohs developed a scale to measure the hardness of minerals. A mineral will scratch other minerals softer than itself and will be scratched by minerals that are harder.
The fingernail test is for minerals and if a mineral is soft then you stick your fingernail in the mineral and if it is below 10 on the moh's hardness scale then it can put a dent into the mineral hope that helps!!
