you tell me!
Pitchstone is a rock; and therefore doesn't have a single hardness. Obsidian is technically not a mineral as it doesn't have a crystalline structure, however it isn't a mixture and has a hardness of roughly 5 - 5.5.On Mohs scale of hardness, obsidian is about 5, which can just be scratched with glass.
Strictly speaking obsidian is not a rock as it is not composed of crystals so can't be mineralic! It is technically a volcanic glass. It's Moh's hardness is approximately 5-6 according to the Wikipedia entry for Obsidian although an exact value would depend on the exact composition of the Obsidian in question.
about 7 or 7.5 with Mohs scale, like Quartz.
flint is a type of quartz, so it has a hardness of about 7 on the mohs scale of hardness
Diatomite has a hardness of around 5.5 on the Mohs scale of hardness.

Pitchstone has a hardness of 5.5-6 on the Mohs scale, making it a relatively soft rock compared to other common minerals.

According to the Mohs hardness scale, Quartz is assigned with the hardness 7.
According to the Janka Hardness Scale Acacia rates at 1750 lbs in a sq inch.
apatite, cobalt, zirconium, palladium, tooth enamel, obsidian (volcanic glass)
Although technically it's not a mineral (but rather a glassy form of rhyolite containing predominantly orthoclase, quartz, and mica), obsidian would fall into the 5 - 5.5 range on the Mohs scale of hardness.
The hardness of Limonite is 4 t0 5.5 on the mohs hardness scale.
In minecraft, no. But in real life, yes. Diamond is a 10 on the mineral hardness scale. Obsidian, a 5. Diamond is a ridiculously dense carbon based mineral that spends millions of years forming underground. Obsidian is black glass that formed from quickly cooled lava.
Obsidian is generally stronger than emerald in terms of hardness and durability. Obsidian, a volcanic glass, ranks about 5.5 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, while emerald, a variety of beryl, typically ranks between 7.5 and 8. However, emerald is more prone to fractures and inclusions, making it less durable in practical use. Therefore, while emerald is harder, obsidian is tougher and less likely to break under stress.
