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.
Is water the heaviest thing in the world?
No. The heaviest naturally-occurring element is uranium (atomic number 92, atomic weight 238.0289). While the substance with the highest density is either element iridium or the element osmium.
Is glass is to brittle as frail is to weak?
Yes, Glass is softer than diamond. Diamond is the hardest known substance! Diamond is number 10 on the Mohs scale, and is 40 times harder than Corundum, which is number 9 on the Moh's scale (and the next hardest natural substance). It also has the most dense atomical configuration of any minerals.
What is the hardest substance in the world?
diamond
What are the three hardest stones or rocks on the planet i know diamond is the hardest what are two and three and where does quartz feature on the list please?
The second hardest mineral is moissanite, which is a naturally occurring mineral made of silicon carbide. The third hardest mineral is corundum, which includes gemstones like sapphires and rubies. Quartz ranks as number seven on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, making it less hard than diamond, moissanite, and corundum.
What mineral has the highest number on the mohs scale?
Diamond, with a hardness of 10 on the Mohs scale.
What is harder a manufactured diamond or a mined diamond?
Both will be grated as 10 on the Mohs scale, the highest number to indicate the hardest mineral.
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.
What can break a diamond?
A diamond can be broken using a number of methods. Gem cutters study the crystal structure of diamonds and then use a hardened chisel and a hammer to cleave them. Certainly placing a diamond on an anvil and striking it with a hammer will break the diamond. But that's a poor use of the tools and a waste of a diamond. The diamond is the hardest substance we know of, but it can be "broken" in a number of ways.
Is water the heaviest thing in the world?
No. The heaviest naturally-occurring element is uranium (atomic number 92, atomic weight 238.0289). While the substance with the highest density is either element iridium or the element osmium.
Which mineral is the hardest according to the Mohs hardness scale?

What the hardest mineral mined north of Washington?
Canada, which is north of Washington, is the home to a number of diamond mining operations. The mineral diamond is as hard as a mineral gets.

What is the 2 second hardest gem stone?
Hardness is the resistance of a gem to scratching and abrasion. It is one of the key qualities of a gemstone. Diamond is the hardest gemstone. The second hardest gemstone is corundum (ruby and sapphire).
What is the only thing that can scratch a diamond?
The only thing or mineral that will scratch diamond is another diamond. Scientists use a penny nail and fingernail to see what number it is. On a scale measured from 1-10 diamond is 10 ranked as hardest mineral, so nothing scratches diamond except diamond.
