What is the name of the mineral hardness scale?
It's called the Ore
Where is clay on the MOHS scale?
The Mohs scale measures the hardness of a mineral. Kaolinite, which is a clay mineral and part of the group of industrial minerals, has a Mohs scale value of 2-2.5.
What is the sofest mineral on the Mohs harness scale is what?
Talc is the softest mineral on the scale
A mineral with a hardness of 6?
Orthoclase feldspar is 6 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness.
How hard is a moissanite on the mohs scale of mineral hardness?
10 is the hardest mineral on the scale. Since Mohs understood this to be the diamond (based on tests scratching different minerals) the diamond was designated a 10.
How hard is sulfur on mohs scale?
Iodine is not recognized as a mineral, and therefore is not assigned a number on the Mohs Scale of mineral hardness.
What is science application?
a mineral that has a low number on the mohs scale
What is harder a manufactured diamond or a mined diamond?

What scale do you use for hardness and what are the highest and lowest numbers?
One of the best known scale is the Mohs scale. This is a purely ordinal scale for minerals and essentially states that a mineral with a higher Mohs value will scratch a mineral with a lower Mohs value. A mineral with a Mohs value twice as large is not twice as hard. A low value is 0.2 for Cesium. Diamond with a Mohs value of 10 is a high value although nanocrystalline diamond exceeds that value.
Who is the mineral scale named after?
The Mohs mineral scale was named after German mineralogist Frederich Mohs (1773-1839)
Is a diamond the hardest of all substances and the highest number on the Mohs scale?
