The Mohs standard hardness scale that was developed by Friedrich Mohs (1773 - 1839).
A mineral's resistance to being scratched is known as it's hardness. You can determine hardness by scratching it with another material whose hardness is already known. If it can be scratched, then the hardness is lower. If the unknown leaves a scratch on the known material, then its hardness is higher.
The Mohs scale is used to determine the relative hardness of minerals.
