A rock's hardness is usually measured in compressive fracture strength rather than a Mohs hardness which measures a mineral's relative hardness in comparison to other minerals. ASTM standard tests have rated gneiss at 50-200 MPa (roughly 350-1400 psi), a range lower than slate, quartzite, or basalt.
