In 1812, German mineralogist Friedrich Mohs developed a hardness scale for minerals (now universally used on metals, etc.)
The scale was based on whether the sample could be scratched by a material of known hardness. The standard was Diamond, with a Mohs Hardness Number of 10.
Topaz is number 8 on the Mohs scale.
The softest material in the mohs scale is talc
The hardness of Limonite is 4 t0 5.5 on the mohs hardness scale.
Pure copper has a Mohs Hardness of 3. So called copper coins have a Mohs hardness of 3.2-3.5. Please see related links.
Turquoise has a Mohs hardness ranging from 5 to 6.

Friedrich Mohs was a German mineralogist who developed the Mohs scale of mineral hardness in 1812. This scale ranks minerals based on their scratch resistance, with diamond being the hardest mineral ranking at 10.
Friedrich Mohs's father's name was Carl Friedrich Mohs.
This scale was proposed by the Austrian geologist Friderich Mohs.
Quartz has a Mohs hardness of 7, meaning minerals that are softer than quartz (Mohs < 7) will not be able to scratch it. Some examples include talc (Mohs 1), gypsum (Mohs 2), calcite (Mohs 3), and fluorite (Mohs 4).

It's called the Ore
Azurite has a hardness of 3.5 to 4 on the Mohs hardness scale.
moh stands for medals of honer
Diatomite has a hardness of around 5.5 on the Mohs scale of hardness.
