No. Hardness is how difficuly it is to dent it with a sharp point (of harder material)
Gypsum is a mineral commonly found in drywall that is easily scratched due to its low hardness on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness.
Gypsum (number 2 on the Moh's Hardness Scale)
Fluorite is the number 4 mineral on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, above calcite and below apatite.
The range of Chart is as non metallic
Orthoclase feldspar is 6 on the Mohs scale of mineral 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.
Fluorite is the number 4 mineral on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, above calcite and below apatite.
The range of Chart is as non metallic
Augite has a hardness of around 5 to 6 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness. It is a common mineral found in igneous rocks and is known for its dark green to black color.
Hardness would be one.
Orthoclase feldspar is 6 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness.
Rocks have different hardness because of variations in their mineral composition and the way those minerals are bonded together. Hardness is typically measured using the Mohs scale, which ranks minerals from 1 (softest) to 10 (hardest) based on their ability to scratch or be scratched by another mineral. Rocks with higher mineral densities or stronger atomic bonds tend to be harder.
Diamonds are the hardest known mineral or stone found in nature. It is rated a 10 on the hardness scale known as the Mohs Scale.
Moh's Scale of Hardness # Talk # Gypsum # Calcite # Fluorite # Apatite # Orthocalse Feldspar # Quartz # Topaz # Corundum # Diamond Has only 10 minerals in it. There are literally 100s if minerals to be found in the rocks that are not used in the scale but that can have their hardness related to the scale. e.g. graphite, galena, beryl, zircon etc.
Calcium. Then others such as fluoride and potassium kagronide.
